Sharon Osbourne insists her family will always come before fame and money.
The reality TV star - who has three grown-up children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, with rocker husband Ozzy Osbourne - admits her home life is the most important thing to her and will do anything she can to protect them.
Sharon - who overcame cancer - said: "Despite all I've achieved, Ozzy and our three gorgeous children are the most precious things in the world to me. Perhaps this is difficult to fully appreciate when you are young but your health and your family really are what is important in life, not fame and money. It might be an old cliche, but by God it's true."
Sharon, Ozzy, Kelly and Jack all appeared in hit MTV show 'The Osbournes' and while it brought them worldwide fame, Sharon admits she regrets eldest daughter Aimee not being in it because they couldn't share much time together when filming was taking place.
She is quoted by website Mail Online as saying: "'The Osbournes' opened so many doors for us and both Jack and Kelly loved doing it. But although we pioneered the reality show I didn't expect the wave of copycat programmes that followed. My eldest daughter, Aimee, is very private and doesn't want anything to do with the world of celebrity - who can blame her? She elected not to appear in 'The Osbournes' and my only regret about doing the show is that it meant I spent less time with her while we were filming it."

Kate Moss is set to become a ballerina.
The supermodel is working on a piece with legendary ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov for a short film by renowned choreographer and director Michael Clark.
The 36-year-old beauty - who famously pole danced in a music video for The White Stripes and is renowned for her partying lifestyle - has been taking private lessons with Michael and will undertake an intense three-month training regime before filming begins in July.
A source is quoted by the MailOnline website as saying: "Kate has to be fit, healthy and looking good, so her late nights and heavy partying have to be reduced. I know that she is very happy to do that and has talked about wanting to get fit and healthy herself. It will be a movie made for them so she doesn't have to be a prima ballerina, even though she is having classes."
Michael believes the duet between Kate and Mikhail - who played Carrie Bradshaw's Russian boyfriend Alexander Petrovsky in the 'Sex and the City' TV series - will be fascinating to watch because of their different backgrounds.
The source added: "Baryshnikov is a beautiful man but he is in his 60s so you don't ask him to jump really high or do this or do that. It will be interesting because it will be about them. In Michael's eye as a film-maker, the movement of the camera dances already by itself. It will be an extremely interesting collaboration and the film will be the result of the dance.
"It will be shown at some sort of fund-raiser but if anything it will go into a gallery where everybody can see it. I think that is how Michael sees it."
Baryshnikov started his career with the Kirov Ballet in St Petersburg, Russia, before defecting to Canada in 1974.

Gemma Arterton wants to be Rachel Weisz.
Despite a glittering film career of her own, the 24-year-old actress is in awe of her fellow British beauty and would love to be able to balance a film career and family life like her.
She said: "I'd really like the type of career Rachel Weisz has. I have a lot of respect for her, brilliant, talented, intelligent, a witty sort of woman. You know, she'll do a rom-com - not that I ever want to do a rom-com - but then she'll go off and do 'The Constant Gardener', have a family and live quite a normal life, it seems. I respect that."
Although she loves her job, Gemma is desperate to maintain a certain level of normality in her life and finds being a famous actress quite "daunting".
She said: "I'll be honest with you, it's daunting - you have no idea what people are going to think of you, or if they'll even be interested in you!"

Peter Andre has broken his sex ban.
The 'Behind Closed Doors' singer ended his self-imposed vow of celibacy - which he undertook following his split from ex-wife Katie Price last May - by embarking on a raunchy fling with blonde glamour girl Maddy Ford.
Maddy, 30, says she was wooed by Peter after meeting him at a party just eight days after his divorce from Katie - also known as Jordan - was finalised last October.
Talking about their fling, Maddy told the News of the World: "Pete blew me away in bed. Every second I was with him, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
"His body was incredible and he was so affectionate. I know Jordan once claimed his manhood was the size of an acorn but that was categorically not true. Pete was perfect in every way."
Maddy claims that while they enjoyed their time together, Peter backed off once she told him she loved him.
She said: "He didn't say he loved me back. He just thanked me and said goodbye."
Maddy and Peter spent one last night together earlier this month but their romance soon fizzled out.
Peter - who raises three children with Katie - said: "Yes, it's true. I was intimate with Maddy on a handful of occasions."
Katie has since gone on to marry cage-fighter Alex Reid and has revealed the couple are trying for a baby.

Colin Farrell doesn't regret his wild child days.
The Irish actor, who claims to have not touched drugs for three years and alcohol for nearly two, insists his life is not a "sad story" and has many great memories.
He said: "The ins and outs of what I've been through, even when it comes to rehab, is not a sad story.
"None of it is a sad story. I had a great time and some amazing memories and lots of good stuff that I've forgotten."
The 33-year-old 'Phone Booth' star admits his meteoric rise to fame - from a part on a BBC drama to Hollywood movies - was part of the reason for his troubles.
He said: "I went from being in 'Ballykissangel' to starring opposite Bruce Willis in 'Hart's War' in the space of two years.
"I was a big fan of 'Moonlighting' and 'Die Hard' so to find yourself in that situation was very surreal. It was made, and it defied any contemplation.
"And I wasn't at the stage where I wanted to contemplate it. Instead I consciously remained very unconscious within the whole thing. I just enjoyed it as it came."
