Ozzy Osbourne's rarely-seen daughter Aimee to make TV return for emotional tribute
Late icon Ozzy Osbourne 's daughter, Aimee Osbourne, is set to star in a new documentary about her rock legend father.
Aimee, who has historically avoided the public eye and declined to appear on the family's MTV reality series The Osbournes, will feature alongside her mother Sharon and siblings Jack and Kelly in the upcoming full-length special dedicated to the Prince of Darkness.
Titled Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, the documentary is slated for release later this year.
It's been reported that filming has been ongoing for several months, with a particular focus on Ozzy's struggles following a serious fall in 2019 that had life-altering consequences.
The production also captures intimate behind-the-scenes moments at Ozzy's final performance at Villa Park, according to The Sun.
An industry source revealed: "Aimee never wanted to be in the spotlight; she was never comfortable with the attention.
"However, she believed the documentary about her father's life was a fitting way to break cover, as the special has a deep and emotive angle.
"The audience will be just as captivated by Aimee's insights as they are to discover how Ozzy has managed during his more challenging years."
Paramount+ will stream Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, which will also include appearances from his Black Sabbath bandmates and other iconic figures in rock music, reports Birmingham Live.
Sharon has previously commented: "This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years.
"It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson's. It's about the reality of his life now.
"We have worked with a production team we trust and have allowed them the freedom to tell the story openly. We hope that story will inspire people that are facing similar issues to Ozzy."
Ozzy died on Tuesday, July 22, with a funeral procession scheduled to make its way down Broad Street on Wednesday, July 30.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have become convinced a major announcement is imminent. Ahead of this year's series, fans think an announcement is set to take place TOMORROW. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 The casting announcement for Strictly 2025 is imminent Credit: BBC 3 The announcement comes amid a probe into two stars allegedly taking cocaine on the show Credit: PA Posting on Reddit, one fan wrote: "Seeing as the first announcement last year was on the first monday in august (the 5th) surely we should be getting the first announcement(s) tomorrow but there's been no mention of upcoming reveals from the BBC so far.. "any ideas on when they might start? the suspense is killing me!" While some agreed, some believe the show will halt the announcement due to the cocaine probe involving two of the show's stars. "I think it will be next week. Strictly would have posted a 'reveals starting on Monday' post by now if reveals were on Monday," one responded. They added: "I think they want to calm the alleged cocaine use story before the reveals." "Either tomorrow or from the 11th (so next Monday) as everything is seemingly pushed back a week?" said another. "Probably from the 11th now would had heard something if the reveals were starting tomorrow," said another. Currently, rumoured additions include Doctor Who and ER's Alex Kingston, Down's Syndrome model Ellie Goldstein and England rugby ace Chris Robshaw. Dani Dyer is also believed to be heading onto the show, as is The Traitors winner Jake Brown. But ahead of this year's casting announcement, Strictly has already found themselves dealing with behind-the-scenes drama with two stars accused of taking cocaine while on the show. BBC launches inquiry into damning allegations of drug consumption on flagship show Strictly Come Dancing The Sun on Sunday revealed that the BBC had been forced to launch an investigation using external lawyers to look into allegations of drug use. The Sun revealed today that the people in question are set to be offered rehab to take the issue. Last night, a source said: 'The BBC is taking the allegations really seriously. "Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're OK. 'As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered.' Execs are also considering adding random drugs tests on next year's Strictly tour — where after-parties are known for wild scenes.

Jack Osbourne admits he and rarely-seen older sister Aimee 'are not close at all' before reuniting at dad Ozzy's emotional funeral
Jack Osbourne revealed that he and his sister Aimee were 'not close at all' in a podcast chat recorded weeks before they reunited for their father Ozzy's funeral. The Osbournes launched in 2002 and ran for four series' on MTV, following the lives of the late Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon and two of their children - Jack and Kelly. However, Aimee, who is Jack and Kelly's eldest sister, chose not to star in the reality show as she tried to carve out her own career in the music industry. Jack, 39, said on the Disrespectfully podcast: 'Back then she really wanted to be a musician and the kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody… 'And she deemed doing a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit. She was like, "I'm not going to be seen riding coat-tails," kind of thing, that's how she perceived it. 'Once the show was hugely successful I think she was kind of like, "Well I can't now come on because I don't want to be seen even more so as jumping on the bandwagon". And she dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.' While Aimee has remained away from the limelight compared to her siblings, the 41-year-old has previously released music under the name ARO, which is her initials. Jack revealed on the podcast they weren't on close terms when he was quizzed on whether Aimee regretted not taking part in the family's reality series. He admitted: 'I've never had the conversation with her, we're not close at all. We don't have a great relationship, she'll be the first to tell you that, so it's no secret. 'I've never asked her outright, "Do you regret it'" I think there must be a level of like, "Hey, my life would have probably been different than what it is if I'd done that", so I don't know, I think I would feel like I would have regretted it.' Aimee courageously put herself in the spotlight for her beloved father at his funeral procession last month. The Black Sabbath rocker died aged 76 on July 22 and his funeral cortege travelled through his hometown of Birmingham, passing thousands of fans who lined the streets. Her brave decision to step into the limelight and pay respects with the world also forced her to put differences aside with her estranged sister Kelly. Kelly and Aimee have had a fraught relationship for years, but were pictured with their devastated mother and brother for the rock legend's send off. In recent years the vastly-different siblings had admitted they weren't on speaking terms, with Kelly saying in an interview they just 'didn't understand each other.' Kelly, who appeared on the Dax Shepard podcast Armchair Expert, revealed in 2021 that she and her older sister had been estranged for a long time. 'We don't talk,' Kelly said. 'We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her.' Meanwhile, 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.' Sharon previously admitted she was devastated when Aimee moved out, saying 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.' Ozzy shared daughters Kelly and Aimee, as well as son Jack, with his wife of 43 years Sharon, and also had three children, Louis, Jessica and Eliot, from his first marriage to wife Thelma Riley.
