Ozzy Osbourne has a rocking family legacy.
The late English musician first rose to fame in 1968 as the lead singer of the iconic heavy metal band Black Sabbath. During that time, Ozzy garnered the nickname 'Prince of Darkness.'
In 1970, the rocker was introduced to his wife, Sharon Osbourne, 72, through her father, Don Arden, who worked for Black Sabbath.
In 1982, the couple tied the knot in Hawaii. Their wedding came months after Ozzy finalized his divorce from his first wife, Thema Riley. He was married to Thema when he and Sharon struck up a romance.
After being married for 43 years, Ozzy died at age 76 on July 22, 2025.
He died 'surrounded by love,' his family said in a statement to The Post on Tuesday. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.'
Ozzy and Sharon shared three adult children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, and five grandkids. Ozzy is also dad to two children from his first marriage. Additionally, he helped raise Thelma's son Elliot Kingsley from a previous relationship.
In 2002, the family participated in MTV's reality show 'The Osbournes.' The series ran for four seasons and followed the lives of Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.
Aimee, 41, chose not to participate in the project, and lives a mostly private life.
'It definitely worked great for the rest of my family, but for me, and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically,' she told New York's Q1043 radio show in 2020.
Keep reading for a complete breakdown of Ozzy's family tree.
Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy wed Thelma in 1971 and welcomed two kids, Louis and Jessica Osbourne.
However, as his notoriety rose, Ozzy began making choices that affected his family life.
'Money would buy the alcohol and the drugs,' he said in the 2020 doc 'Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne.' 'I behaved f–king badly.'
In 1979, the rock star was fired from Black Sabbath and began a solo career. After divorcing Thelma and marrying Sharon, Ozzy physically attacked his new wife while under the influence in 1989.
He spoke about the incident in the documentary, stating: 'I felt the calmest I had ever felt in my life. I was just peaceful. It's not exactly one of my greatest achievements.'
The two resolved their issues, and showed their family dynamic during the four seasons of 'The Osbournes.'
'Surprised is the f–king understatement of the millennium!' Ozzy told Hot Press in December 2002 of his reaction to the series being so well-received.
'I mean, before we did the TV show, I was Ozzy Osbourne the legendary rock'n'roller, and now I'm this f–king demi-god!' he continued. 'I'm on the front of all these f–king magazines … f–k me, it's mad!'
Despite being a united front on the show, in 2016, he and Sharon split due to infidelity.
A year later, the couple renewed their vows.
'This is a new beginning. I think that everyone should reaffirm their marriage. I walked out of the ceremony feeling completely refreshed: I know my wife loves me and she knows how much I love her. I'm excited for whatever our future holds,' Ozzy told Hello! at the time.
In recent years, Ozzy has stepped away from the spotlight due to his battle with Parkinson's disease.
He's also undergone multiple surgeries for injuries caused by a 2003 ATV accident.
In July 2025, Ozzy played in Black Sabbath's final show just weeks before his death.
Sharon Osbourne
After Ozzy left Black Sabbath in 1979, Sharon became his business manager. However, things soon turned romantic.
Sharon repped other musical groups such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Motorhead and The Electric Light Orchestra.
Sharon also became a media personality, carving her own path in television. She competed on 'Celebrity Apprentice' in 2010 and was a judge on 'The X Factor' and 'America's Got Talent.'
In 2010, Sharon landed a co-host position on 'The Talk.' She held the position for 11 years until she was fired in 2021 after a discussion about race.
Sharon said her former co-host and 'The Talk' creator, Sara Gilbert, encouraged her to go to therapy after being let go.
'It helped a lot because I honestly didn't want to carry that around and be a victim,' she revealed while on 'The Sage Steele Show' in 2024. 'And look at what they did to me. It's like, 'F–k you and f–k corporation. I could give a f–k.'
Over the years, Sharon has battled her own health issues, including colon cancer in 2002 and a preventative double mastectomy in 2012.
But through it all, she's had Ozzy by her side.
'We're two oddballs, and we were two wild young people that found each other,' Sharon told E! News in 2023. 'I think we're cut from the same mold. It's not been easy. No relationship is easy, and you have to work at it. You get your ugly times, your bad times and your horrific times. But if you love each other, you'll work through.'
Elliot Kingsley
Elliot, 59, was born in 1966 to Thelma and an unidentified man.
After Ozzy and Thelma tied the knot, the rocker adopted him. Elliot has largely kept out of the spotlight over the years.
Louis Osbourne
Louis, 50, and his sister Jessica, 46, were raised in England, while his dad and Sharon raised his half-siblings in the US.
Ozzy's first son told Birmingham Live in 2013 that he got along well with Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
Louis added that the family tries to 'meet on special occasions.'
Louis also works in the music industry as an artist manager through All Night Artists.
Louis also collaborates as a music manager for Purple Wall, according to the website.
In 2004, the talent manager explained why he prefers to keep his personal life private.
'If I completely cheese it out on the media front I will get no credibility in the underground market, which is my bread and butter,' Louis stated, per the Irish Examiner.
In 2003, he married his wife Louise, and the two share a son named Elijah.
According to the family's statement, Louis was present when Ozzy died.
Jessica Osbourne
Ozzy's eldest daughter, Jessica, is also in the entertainment industry. The star has worked as an actress for over a decade, most recently appearing in 'Better Call Saul' (2015), 'The Messengers' in 2015 and 'Manhattan' (2014).
In 2011, she reflected on her relationship with Ozzy growing up.
'My recollection from my childhood with dad is that he'd be away for very long periods of time, and there'd always be a period of adjustment when he came home, and then it'd get to normality and then he'd go again,' Jessica revealed in the documentary 'God Bless Ozzy Osbourne.'
'So, it was a very erratic chidhood with dad.'
Aimee Osbourne
Ozzy and Sharon's eldest daughter lived with her family in California until they started shooting 'The Osbournes.' Once production began, she moved out.
'She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea — it was appalling to her,' Sharon explained while on 'The Talk' in 2018. 'And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did.'
The host added, 'It broke my heart when she moved.'
Aimee later shared why she chose not to appear on the series.
'It just felt extraordinarily nepotistic,' she confessed on a 2021 episode of 'The Michael Anthony Show.'
'Being so aware of my father's presence in the media growing up, my private life with him and my family was something to be protected.'
Despite keeping a low profile in Hollywood, Aimee inherited her parents love for music. The artist sings with the band ARO along with making her own music.
'I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance,' she told The Independent in 2015. 'Do we socialise? No.'
In 2022, Aimee survived a deadly fire that broke out in a recording studio.
She and her producer escaped the building, but someone did end up dying in the blaze.
'It is utterly heartbreaking that someone lost their life today in this fire & we are sending our prayers to this person & their family. What happened today was beyond horrific,' Sharon wrote on Instagram at the time.
Kelly Osbourne
Kelly first rose to fame thanks to her family's MTV hit show.
In 2002, she released her debut album 'Shut Up!' and her sophomore album, 'Sleep in Nothing,' in 2005.
Over the years, Kelly has appeared as host on 'Fashion Police,' 'Project Catwalk' and 'Project Runway.' She also starred on the short-lived TV series 'Live as We Know It.'
The media personality joined Season 9 of 'Dancing with the Stars,' where she came in third place.
Kelly is often vocal about her struggle with sobriety. Following a brief relapse in 2021, she's been sober for over three years.
'My life has come very, very far, and I am just so grateful for every mistake that I made in my life, for every lesson learned, for all of it,' she told Us Weekly in 2024. 'I have such an incredible life. What could I possibly complain about?'
Kelly welcomed her son Sidney in November 2022 with Slipknot keyboardist, Sid Wilson.
'I truly believe that my baby saved me and made me a whole human,' she added to the outlet. 'I don't think I knew what love was before having the baby. I don't think I truly had a purpose. I just went from thing, to thing, to thing, and this level of just self-hate and self-doubt that I used to have would take me out.'
Earlier this month, Kelly got engaged to Sid, 48, while at her dad's final Black Sabbath show.
She shared an Instagram video of the heartfelt moment, writing, 'Oh and this happened yesterday!'
Wilson got down on one knee in front of Kelly's parents, Jack, and the concert's crew.
'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,' Wilson told Kelly.
Ozzy teased, 'F–k off, you're not marrying my daughter.'
Wilson added, 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?'
Jack Osbourne
Sharon and Ozzy's youngest child has also forged a path in Hollywood.
After a few scripted roles, including one in the '90s drama 'Dawson's Creek,' and a part in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's 2004 comedy, 'New York Minute,' Jack turned back to reality television.
He appeared in 'Union Jack,' 'Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie,' 'Dancing With the Stars' and most recently, 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.'
He's also worked behind the camera, producing the 2011 doc 'God Bless Ozzy Osbourne.'
Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2012 at age 26. He's also been sober since 2003.
'I kind of look at the diagnosis as a huge silver lining to be honest with you,' he told Today in 2017 about living with MS. 'Before this, I would just be a typical 20-something-year-old and lounge around and just kind of kick it when I could. I don't do that anymore. I hate wasting days.'
'I'm always doing something and trying to accomplish something, whether it's work, something social or doing something active. So for that, I'm appreciative of it.'
Jack shares daughters Pearl, Andy and Minnie with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly. He is also dad to daughter Maple with wife Aree Gearhart.
