She's always lived an ultra-private life away from the spotlight, unlike her famous parents Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and siblings Kelly and Jack.
And Aimee - who showed off her shock new look over the weekend - is slowly edging into the spotlight with her music career, following in the footsteps of her rocker father.
Sharon, 72, and Ozzy's, 76, eldest daughter - who is estranged from her sister Kelly, 40 - refused to live her life on television with her family on their reality show The Osbournes.
For years, the wild Osbourne clan crashed onto screens in 2002, lifting the lid on their wild antics and their foul language.
But despite The Osbournes giving fans a peek into their lives over the course of 52 episodes - fans never met Aimee on the show.
Aimee shunned the spotlight and moved out of her family home aged just 16 when her family began filming, something Sharon has always regretted.
Now it appears the 41-year-old is ready to show glimpses of her life with the public as she often promotes her new music on her Instagram.
With her new slimmed down appearance, a new rumoured boyfriend and a very different appearance - Aimee has taken a liking to the spotlight...

Music career
She urged her fans to 'keep going' if 'times get tough' as she reflected on a year full of 'heartbreak and twists and turns'
Aimee shared a huge career milestone in an emotional post on Instagram last year after she recorded a project at Abbey Road Studios for the first time.
She urged her fans to 'keep going' if 'times get tough' as she reflected on a year full of 'heartbreak and twists and turns'.
Aimee, who records music as ARO, released her latest single Siren with Fjora music in November 2024. Her first single Raining Gold was released in 2015.
She wrote: 'A little over a year ago, I drove past Abbey Road Studios & thought to myself, if I somehow end up recording there one day, it would signify that I was on the right path.
'At the time, 'the path' felt littered with shards of heartbreak, twists & turns looked like dead ends with some questionable characters at the crosswalk. 'The only way past is through' a phrase I always return to in moments when it feels like an internal fight not to do the opposite. So I kept going..
'Time never felt less linear when a few weeks ago, I got asked to be a part of a project that would be recording at
'A project that I couldn't be prouder to be a part of with the most incredible people.
'Lately, life & beyond seems more infinitely & intrinsically linked far past what we can fully comprehend. More on this soon.
'Don't be afraid to put what you want out there, sometimes the universe listens & boomerangs it back out of the deep blue.
'When the path gets tough, keep going. Sending you all love on this'.
New appearance
Over the last few years, Aimee has showcased her chiseled looks and plumped lips in a series of selfies on her Instagram

Aimee looked completely unrecognisable as she stepped out in Manchester on Sunday.
She showed off her slimmed down appearance while leaving a hotel alongside Brigitte Calls Me Baby star Wes Leavins, who are currently on tour in the UK.
Over the last few years, Aimee has showcased her increasingly chiseled looks and plumped lips in a series of selfies on her Instagram.
Former X Factor judge Sharon, who recently admitted that Ozempic has had an adverse effect on her health, was recently pictured with Aimee in Los Angeles.
Sharon was among the first celebrities to publicly confirm using the diabetes drug, after her dramatically slimmed-down appearance sparked widespread concern.
Though she was initially pleased with the results after starting the medication in December 2022, Osbourne later admitted she feared she had taken it too far—despite revealing last November that she had been off the drug for 'a while.'
'I can't put on weight now, and I don't know what it's done to my metabolism, but I just can't seem to put any on, because I think I went too far,' she shared on Howie Mandel's podcast.
Earlier, in February, she told The Guardian she had lost 'three stone [42 pounds] in four months. Too much.'
Shunned fame
Aimee was largely raised in California until the age of 16, however she eventually moved out of the family home as filming for The Osbournes kicked off.
She said that she would have liked to stay at home 'a little longer', but as the MTV crew moved in the then teenager moved out.
Reflecting on her decision to not appear on the show she added: 'Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?
'I wanted to protect myself, my parents, my siblings, too. They were very young, very impressionable.'
She later defended her decision in 2008 and told The Independent: '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.
'[Sharon] was hurt, and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I'm more reserved and my private life is very important.'
Sharon said on the Talk in 2018: 'She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea — it was appalling to her.
'And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did. It broke my heart when she moved.'
Rumoured boyfriend
Aimee, on multiple occasions, has left sweet messages to Wes on the band's Instagram page
Aimee has sparked romance rumours with Brigitte Calls Me Baby star Wes Leavins after they were spotted leaving a hotel together in Manchester on Sunday.
Wes, who is currently on tour in the UK, walked alongside the rocker daughter of Ozzy as she pushed her luggage.
The lead singer cut a casual display in a black sweatshirt and trousers.
Aimee, on multiple occasions, has left sweet messages to Wes on the band's Instagram page.
On some posts she pens heart emojis in the comments, while others see her sharing supportive messages ahead of his shows.
MailOnline has contacted Aimee's representatives for comment.
Estranged from sister
Kelly confirmed in 2021 that she and Aimee two no longer talk following a clash in personalities.
The reality TV personality, who appeared on the Dax Shepard podcast - Armchair Expert - revealed she and her older sister had been estranged for a long time.
On the podcast episode, which aired on May 3, 2021, Kelly said the pair were unable to get on the same page.
'We don't talk,' Kelly, then 36, told Shepard. 'We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her.'
Back in 2015 Aimee shared with The Independent that her and Kelly were not on close terms.
'I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance,' she said. 'Do we socialize? No.'
However, Aimee and Jack's bond is staggeringly different, with the pair both running production company Osbourne Media together.
The siblings are also in the process of co-producing a biopic about their parents, according to Variety.
