The Tragic Real-Life Story Of Marie Osmond

Posted by Merlyn Hunt on Sunday, March 31, 2024

Marie Osmond and her family dealt with a frightening and expensive turn of events when their Orem, Utah, home caught on fire in 2005. According to the Deseret News, a blaze broke out in the garage in the early evening hours, when her then-husband Brian Blosil and a number of their children were home.

Blosil was reportedly napping upstairs when he heard children screaming that there was a fire. He told the newspaper, "I ran though the house, got all my kids."

The family's neighbors aided them in getting out, before firefighters arrived and quickly doused the flames. A fire department spokesperson said that one simple action may have prevented more damage — someone had closed the door between the home and the garage. "Just closing the doors probably saved the home," he said.

Fire personnel estimated, however, that $50,000 of damage had been done. Osmond was working in Southern California at the time, but Blosil told the newspaper, "She's very grateful all is well."
