Aimee Osbourne, the eldest daughter of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, made a rare public appearance to honor her late father during his funeral in Birmingham, England. The intimate procession took place on Wednesday, July 30, as friends, family, and fans gathered to bid farewell to the man famously known as the Prince of Darkness.
Dressed in a black suit, beret, and veil, Aimee appeared tearful as she stood alongside her family on the Black Sabbath Bridge. Her mother Sharon, sister Kelly, and brothers Jack and Louis Osbourne joined her in paying tribute, offering support and solidarity in the public farewell.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away on Tuesday, July 22, at the age of 76. His family confirmed the news with a heartfelt joint statement, expressing deep sorrow and requesting privacy during their time of mourning. According to the statement, the rock star died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.
Ozzy is survived by six children, including Aimee, Kelly, and Jack with his wife Sharon, and Jessica, Louis, and Elliot from previous relationships. While Kelly and Jack were featured prominently on the reality show The Osbournes, Aimee chose to stay out of the spotlight, citing her desire to maintain her privacy.
Despite avoiding public attention, Aimee has pursued her own creative path. She starred in an MTV adaptation of Wuthering Heights and leads the synth-pop project ARO. Her debut single, “Raining Gold,” was released in 2015 and explores the challenges of growing up in the shadow of a legendary musician.
Ozzy’s funeral in Birmingham, his hometown and the birthplace of heavy metal, brought together family, longtime fans, and musical peers. The event followed his final concert held on July 5—an emotional performance dubbed Back to the Beginning, where he reunited onstage with fellow Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.
Tony Iommi later reflected on Ozzy’s final show, telling ITV News that he believed Ozzy held on specifically to complete that performance. “It was as if he waited to say goodbye properly to his fans,” said Iommi.
The rock world has been flooded with tributes. Artists such as Elton John, Ozzy’s former bandmates, and younger stars like Yungblud honored his legacy. Yungblud, who performed “Changes” during Ozzy’s last concert, described him as a guiding light, promising to continue playing the song in every future show.
“You were my hero in every way,” Yungblud shared on Instagram. “For the Prince of Darkness, you certainly brought light to the world. I love you, Ozzy.”
Ozzy Osbourne leaves behind a massive cultural legacy as one of rock’s most iconic and influential figures. While his death marks the end of a musical era, his memory lives on—not just through his family and fans, but in the powerful mark he left on the world of music.
