The Osbourne siblings were reunited last week, as they joined their mum at their father's funeral procession in Birmingham.
Over the years, Aimee hasn't been seen in public with her brother and sister.
She is a singer who has released music under the moniker ARO since 2010.
However, Aimee has shied away from the limelight around her parents.
She is the eldest of the Ozzy and Sharon's kids but famously declined to appear on the family's MTV reality series The Osbournes in the early noughties.
The show was an instant hit and propelled her parents and siblings into huge stardom.
However, just weeks before his dad's death at the age of 76, Jack opened up about his relationship with Aimee, and said they were "not close at all".
Appearing on the Disrespectfully podcast, Jack 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."
Revealing more about Aimee's decision not to be on The Osbournes, Jack said: "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."
SIBLINGS REUNITED
However, just weeks later Jack was reunited with Aimee at their father's funeral last week.
Aimee - wearing a black veil - was seen comforting her mum Sharon as they laid flowers at a memorial to Ozzy.
Aimee's sister Kelly could also be seen in tears, comforting and hugging her family as they paid tribute to the Black Sabbath icon.
Thousands of fans lined the streets of Birmingham for the rock legend's funeral procession.
In emotional scenes, Sharon - aided by Kelly to her left and Jack to her right - slowly walked towards the memorial created by fans at Black Sabbath Bridge.
Sharon couldn't fight back tears as the family carried flowers to lay at the site.
