1 Dead In Hollywood Studio Blaze; Sharon Osbourne's Daughter Survived

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Los Angeles firefighters Thursday found a body in the aftermath of a fire at a music studio in Hollywood where the daughter of television personality Sharon Osbourne was inside with a producer.

It wasn't immediately clear if the person died in the fire or before the blaze broke out, according to authorities.

Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott. said the design of the studios made the firefighters' task very challenging.

"There were an abundance of small individual recording studios inside the building so that made it very difficult to navigate with zero visibility," Scott said. "Additionally, the studios had sound deadening with very thick walls that really held all the heat in, making this a very intense firefight."

Osbourne said in an Instagram post that her daughter Aimee and her producer escaped the fire.

``They are the lucky two that made it out alive," she wrote. ``It is utterly heartbreaking that someone lost their life Thursday in this fire & we are sending our prayers to this person & their family. What happened Thursday was beyond horrific. I really hope moving forward that buildings like this are better regulated for fire safety."

The Los Angeles Fire Department was called to a greater alarm fire at 6600 Lexington Ave., between Highland Avenue and Vine Street shortly after 5:30 p.m. Thursday. They found a two-story concrete building ablaze, according to the department's Nicholas Prange.

It took 78 firefighters nearly an hour to put out the blaze, according to Prange.

Two people were evaluated at the scene for smoke inhalation, but declined to be taken to a hospital, Prange said.

"Sadly, one person was found dead inside, as firefighters searched the structure," he added.

The name of the person found dead and the exact manner of death were not immediately known.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
