As mourners gathered under a slate-grey sky to bid farewell to the Prince of Darkness, they were greeted the appearance of Ozzy Osbourne's lesser-known children, stepping into public view for perhaps the first time in years.
While cameras naturally gravitated toward Sharon, Kelly, and Jack, stalwarts of the reality TV era that cemented the family's fame, additional figures arrived with quieter gravitas.
Lets take a look into the lives of Aimee, Louis and Jessica Osbourne, who have long lived outside the chaotic glow of the Osbourne brand. Jack, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne emotionally arrive to view tributes to Ozzy. Pic:Ozzy Osbourne and his son Louis Osbourne. Pic: Phillip Massey/FilmMagic
Louis John Osbourne is Ozzy's eldest child, born to his first wife, Thelma Riley. Adopted by Ozzy in 1975, he was raised in Birmingham and famously grew up away from the blaring spotlight of his father's fame.
In the 1990s Louis forged his own path as a DJ, playing techno and house music across Europe, including Ibiza's Café Mambo and eventually founding record labels like Mija Recordings and All Night Artists.

Aimee Rachel Osbourne is the eldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Born in London, she is the older sister to Kelly and Jack and half-sister to Louis and Jessica.
At age 16, Aimee chose not to participate in The Osbournes TV show, citing discomfort with the intrusion and concerns about being typecast in a role that could hinder her artistic aspirations. She reportedly moved out of the family home amidst the filming to protect her privacy and independence
Aimee pursued music under the moniker ARO, releasing dark, synth-pop and trip-hop tracks such as 'Raining Gold' and the album Vacare Adamaré (2020). She also had minor acting roles in the likes of Wuthering Heights and Postman Pat: The Movie, though acting has never been a central focus of her career.
Though media-shy, Aimee maintains a close but distinct relationship with her parents. Her bond with siblings—particularly Kelly—is often described as distant, shaped by differing values and life choices. Despite this, Aimee put on quiet the united front with her family to honour her father's memory. Ozzy Osbourne singer with his children Jessica and Louis Pic: Staff/Mirrorpix/Getty Images
Jessica Starshine Osbourne is Ozzy's first biological daughter, born in Grimsby, England, to his first wife Thelma Riley.
Though Ozzy adopted Louis earlier, Jessica was his first birth child and became a mother to his first grandchild, Isabelle Hobbs, whom he learned about during a phone call shown in The Osbournes series.
jessica was raised largely out of public view; she never appeared on the The Osbournes TV series beyond that phone call moment, and reportedly had a strained or distant relationship with Ozzy, describing him as an absent father in the God Bless Ozzy Osbourne documentary.
She has worked as an actress and producer, appearing in shows like Better Call Saul and performing in stage productions such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Little Shop of Horrors. Jessica has also directed and written for independent film and theater projects.
Jessica was not named in the family's joint public statement and did not appear at the funeral in person.
