For most of her life, Aimee Osbourne chose to remain apart from the chaos that surrounded her famous family. While the rest of the Osbournes became household names through their hit reality show in the early 2000s, Aimee quietly stepped away at 16, determined to protect her privacy and build a life on her own terms. She became a musician under the name ARO, releasing introspective synth-pop far removed from the heavy metal world of her father, Ozzy Osbourne.
But on July 30, 2025, Aimee stepped back into the public eye for one of the hardest moments of her life — the funeral procession for her father, known to millions as the Prince of Darkness. Ozzy had passed away just days earlier, on July 22, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. His final farewell took place in Birmingham, the city where his legendary journey with Black Sabbath began.
Dressed in black, wearing a small veil and a subtle bat-shaped brooch — a quiet nod to her father’s infamous legacy — Aimee walked side by side with her mother Sharon and siblings Kelly, Jack, and Louis. Fans lined the streets, leaving flowers and singing Ozzy’s songs as the family made their way to the Black Sabbath Bridge. There, Aimee gently whispered to her mother, “I think we should stay together,” and Sharon replied softly, “We will, darling, yes.” It was a quiet, tender moment in the middle of public mourning — a glimpse into the family’s private grief.
Aimee’s presence marked more than just a farewell. It was also a reunion. Jack Osbourne later admitted that he and Aimee had not been close for many years. Her decision to stay out of the spotlight created distance, but their father’s death brought them back together. Standing side by side during such a vulnerable moment, the siblings shared in the loss that only they could fully understand.
For Aimee, who has always valued privacy over publicity, the decision to attend was deeply personal. She didn’t speak. She didn’t pose. She simply showed up — quiet, grieving, and present. In doing so, she reminded everyone that family is not about headlines or fame. It’s about showing up when it matters most.
Ozzy Osbourne’s impact on music is undeniable. But his legacy also lives on in his children — each shaped by his presence in different ways. And in that final goodbye, Aimee stepped out of the shadows not to seek attention, but to honor her father in the way she always lived her life: on her own terms.
