Inside life of Sharon and Ozzy's 'missing daughter' who shunned fame
The Osbournes was one of the first reality TV shows to grace our screens back in 2002, introducing MTV viewers to Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's children Kelly, 39, and Jack, 38.
But what many fans of the show didn't realise at the time was that Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon and Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy actually have a third child - 40-year-old Aimee. While her younger siblings enjoyed the perks of fame thanks to the success of The Osbournes, Aimee shunned the spotlight and moved out of the family home at 16 when he family embarked on their reality TV project.
"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," Aimee has previously told US television. "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. [Mum] was hurt and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I'm more reserved and my private life is very important."

"She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea — it was appalling to her," Sharon explained on The Talk in 2018. "And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did. It broke my heart when she moved."
Aimee, who was born in London but mainly raised in California, followed her musical dreams rather than tread the reality TV road with her siblings. In 2015, she released her first single Raining Gold - with mum Sharon proudly supporting her eldest child at the time of the song's release.

But the singer has a strained relationship with sister Kelly (@aro_officialmusic/Instagram)"The Raining Gold video naturally took on one of the messages of the song, which is you should never assume anything about someone or a situation just because it looks a certain way on the surface," Aimee said of her debut song in 2015. She went on to tell Rolling Stone magazine: "It's also about coming to the realisation that it's a choice to allow someone or something to control you. I've experience that a lot, from both sides. I think most people have, yet it's one of the loneliest things in the world to feel."
These days, Aimee is still the lead singer of her group ARO, last releasing a single in 2022. While Aimee's music ambitions are still going strong, her relationship with sister Kelly has dwindled over the years. Speaking in 2021, Kelly confirmed she and Aimee no longer talk and are estranged.
"We don't talk," Kelly told Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast. "We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her." Kelly's comments followed Aimee admitting in 2015 that she wasn't on good terms with her little sister. Aimee told The Independent: "I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance. Do we socialize? No."
But while Aimee and Kelly don't get along, the oldest Osbourne child is very close with her little brother Jack - with the two siblings even running production company Osbourne Media together. According to Variety, Aimee and Jack are currently in the process of co-producing a biopic about their famous parents.
