Aimee Osbourne, long considered the most private member of the Osbourne family, is finally stepping into the spotlight with the launch of her music career, ending decades of avoidance that saw her shun reality television and media attention. And OK! can reveal her public move has left her grieving family "seething."
The eldest daughter of Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne, who died at age 76 in July after a prolonged battle with Parkinson's disease, has maintained a famously low profile, in stark contrast to her siblings Kelly and Jack.

Aimee Osbourne has typically been more private compared to her siblings.
The 42-year-old singer and performer, who goes by the stage name ARO, features prominently in the new documentary Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, which chronicles the final years of the rock icon's life. The Paramount Plus release, which has been available from October 7, includes intimate footage of Ozzy's struggles with chronic pain, depression and declining health, as well as his family's attempts to care for him during his final months.
Aimee, who moved out of her family's mansion at age 16 to avoid being part of MTV's The Osbournes, has long had a fraught relationship with her mother, Sharon, and sister Kelly.
In 2021, Kelly admitted on Dax Shepherd's "Armchair Expert" podcast: "We don't talk. We're just really different. She doesn't understand me, and I don't understand her." Yet both sisters were present during Ozzy's last days in their home in Buckinghamshire, Britain, helping care for the patriarch alongside Jack and their mom, Sharon.

Aimee Osbourne is a singer and performer.
"Kelly has been at the house a lot in the last week or so, so has Aimee. It is terribly sad for all of them, they really hoped he would be able to carry on for a bit longer," a source close to the family said at the time. "But it's so lovely that he had his children around him during his last days."
The Paramount film traces the trajectory of Ozzy's health decline, beginning with a fall in February 2019 at the family's Los Angeles home, which led to a broken neck and ultimately contributed to his Parkinson's diagnosis.
Aimee calmly reflects on the incident by saying: "He's had many accidents that I've witnessed, but you could tell this was not one he was necessarily going to get away with in the same way."
Despite the family drama and health crises, the documentary reveals moments of levity, with Ozzy's humor intact even in his darkest moments.

Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July.
He confides: "The thought of not doing gigs anymore… I went into a dark place. I'm on antidepressants now actually because I was getting ready to off myself. But then I thought, 'What are you f------ talking about?' Because knowing me, I'd do it and I'd be half dead... I'd set myself on fire and I wouldn't die. That's my luck."
Aimee, who has avoided marriage and children, is now publicly pursuing her music career after years of remaining in the shadows.
She explained in a 2008 interview: "I'm not some weirdo depressed daughter that's afraid of the world and locks herself in her room all day. I just didn't choose to do the show. I want to be a singer, and I felt if I'd stayed with the Osbournes and done the whole thing I would have been typecast right away."

Aimee Osbourne's family is reportedly 'frustrated' that she's stepping into the spotlight.
A source close to the Osbourne family told us that while Aimee's decision to step into the public eye has caused tension, many see it as a natural evolution of her career and a tribute to her father's legacy.
But another insider said: "There's a sense of real frustration within the family that Aimee is stepping into this spotlight now, especially after she spent so many years deliberately avoiding it – some relatives feel she's chosen the worst possible moment to embrace publicity. It has left them seething amid their grief."
