Los Angeles, Aug 12 (IANS): Actress Kelly Osbourne says she sometimes wishes she suffered from multiple sclerosis (MS) instead of her brother Jack Osbourne.

Jack was diagnosed with the disease last year but tries to lead a normal life. He is married to Lisa Stelly and has a year-old daughter Pearl. The couple is now expecting their second child.

"When you get told that your little brother has a disease that most people don't even understand, you're like, 'So my mum had cancer, my dad almost died and now my brother has MS," Cosmopolitan magazine quoted Kelly as saying.

The actress calls Jack a hero for leading a normal life.

"He's such a hero. He walks around like he doesn't have it - you'd never even know. He's so brave and strong and willing to do anything he can to find a cure," Kelly said.

"And you know what? I wish I had it instead of him. I think all about the f***ed up things I've done, yet my life is perfect. I wish I could take it away from him," she added.
