Ozzy Osbourne's rarely-seen daughter Aimee looks very different now

Ozzy Osbourne was regularly seen on screens with his doting wife Sharon and two of their three kids, Jack and Kelly, for their reality series, The Osbournes. However, their third child, Aimee, shunned the spotlight and opted for a quiet life away from their warts and all MTV show.

The TV series did wonders when it aired in 2002, with fans around the world immediately falling in love with the chaotic couple and their kids, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. Many fans at the time were unaware that Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon and Black Sabbath legend Ozzy had a third offspring - Aimee, who is now 41.

While her younger siblings basked in the limelight following The Osbournes' success, Aimee chose to avoid the public eye, leaving the family nest at 16 when they embarked on their reality TV journey.

She previously shared her reasoning for not doing the show, telling US television: "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. [Mum] was hurt and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I'm more reserved and my private life is very important."

She told New York's Q1043 radio show in 2020: "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."

When filming for the MTV programme began, the then 16-year-old moved out of the family home, which was a move Sharon had grown to regret.

"She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea - it was appalling to her," Sharon revealed 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."

And now, 25 years later, Aimee shares small snippets of her life on her Instagram page. She boasts 50,000 followers and mainly shares snaps of her music endeavours.

Not only does she sing under the moniker ARO, she previously starred in MTV's adaptation of Wuthering Height and did voice work for Postman Pat: The Movie.

Aimee also made headlines after escaping death in a horrifying fire at a Hollywood music studio. Music producer Jamal Rajad helped Amy and her producer escape.

Speaking about what happened, Sharon said on Instagram: ”They are the lucky two that made it out alive. What happened today was beyond horrific.” Unfortunately, musician Nathan Avery Edwards, 29, was killed in the fire.

Last year, Aimee marked a significant career milestone with an emotional Instagram post, sharing her experience of recording at the iconic Abbey Road Studios for the first time. Encouraging her followers to 'keep going' during challenging times, she reflected on a year filled with 'heartbreak and twists and turns'.

Ozzy also had three children from his first marriage to Thelma Riley as the pair welcomed daughters Jessica and Louis. The music legend then adopted Thelma’s son Elliott.

Following Ozzy's death aged 76, Aimee and her family released a statement to The Post. They said: "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.”
