Aimee Osbourne's new look as Ozzy and Sharon's daughter returns to spotlight
Unlike her famous parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, and siblings Kelly and Jack, Aimee has always maintained a low profile, shying away from the limelight. However, after unveiling a surprising new look recently, she seems to be gradually stepping into the public eye through her music career, echoing her father's rock 'n' roll roots.
The Osbournes first hit our screens in 2002, introducing MTV audiences to Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's kids, Kelly, 39, and Jack, 38. However, many fans were unaware that Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon and Black Sabbath legend Ozzy have 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.
"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," Aimee has previously shared with US television.
"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."
Choosing to avoid the spotlight, Aimee moved out of the family home at just 16 when filming began, a decision that Sharon has since expressed regret over. Now, at 41, it seems Aimee is ready to share snippets of her life with the public, often using her Instagram platform to promote her latest music.
Earlier this week, Aimee Osbourne was photographed leaving a hotel in Manchester alongside Wes Leavins from the band Bridgette Calls Me Baby, who are currently on a UK tour - sparking rumours of a new romance for the Osbourne nepo baby.
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'.
Recording under the moniker ARO, Aimee released her latest single, Siren, in collaboration with Fjora Music in November 2024. Her debut single, Raining Gold, was released back in 2015.
Aimee has previously openly admitted that she would have preferred to stay at home a bit longer, with mum Sharon confessing that it broke her heart when her eldest left.
"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."
While Aimee's musical aspirations remain strong, her relationship with sister Kelly has unfortunately faded over time. In a 2021 interview, Kelly confirmed that she and Aimee are estranged and no longer in contact.
"We don't talk," Kelly revealed to Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast. "We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her."
These remarks from Kelly come after Aimee confessed in 2015 that she and her younger sister weren't exactly close. Speaking to The Independent, Aimee admitted: "I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance. Do we socialise? No."

Ozzy Osbourne revealed his favourite ever song and it's not Black Sabbath hit
Ozzy Osbourne shared his all-time favourite songs, and while it's no surprise that The Beatles feature heavily, his number one pick may come as a surprise to fans Ozzy Osbourne and his pioneering metal band Black Sabbath inspired hundreds of big-name musicians over decades of rock excellence. Fans might expect a man with such talents and reputation to have impeccable music taste, but the one song Ozzy labelled his favourite song of all time might surprise you. Long before his death on Tuesday (July 22), Ozzy revealed the one song he favours above all others - and it's not a Black Sabbath tune. Nor, indeed, is it one of his many excellent solo tracks. Perhaps even surprisingly still, despite being a self-professed Beatles lover, it's not even a song by the Fab Four. Instead, Ozzy disclosed that his top choice is the spine-chilling 1967 masterpiece A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. In a 2009 piece for NME's publication Inspired By Music - celebrities pick their favourite songs, Osbourne detailed why this track strikes such a profound chord with him. "When I hear that haunting melody on the Hammond organ, I immediately become transfixed," he stated. Launched in 1967, A Whiter Shade of Pale became an immediate sensation, dominating the UK charts for six weeks. It remains amongst the rare recordings to shift over 10 million copies and earned induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. For Ozzy, the track's eerie ambience distinguishes it - a characteristic that arguably echoes the shadowy elements within his own compositions. Whilst Procol Harum claims the premier position, Ozzy's remaining beloved tracks demonstrate the breadth of his musical inspirations. During a 2004 chat with Rolling Stone, he unveiled his favourite songs from that period, providing insight into the tracks that influenced his existence and profession. Leading the selection is A Day in the Life by The Beatles. "It takes me back to a magical time in my life," Ozzy remarked. His admiration for The Beatles extends beyond this single track. He also selected Hey Jude ("Hands down, one of the greatest songs ever written") and Yesterday as two of his top picks. He expressed awe at the simplicity of the latter's original title, remarking: "I would have loved to have heard the working-title version, Scrambled Eggs". John Lennon's 'Imagine' takes second place on Ozzy's list, with his admiration for the track being deep and constant. "This song will never get old for me," he declared. Another McCartney hit, Live and Let Die, earns third place: "A f***ing great song. I love it!". The Pink Floyd classic Money stirs up vivid recollections from Ozzy's wilder years. "Reminds me of my LSD days. I'm glad I survived," he reminisced. Mountain's Mississippi Queen also resonates deeply with Ozzy, bringing back memories of Black Sabbath's first US tour. "This one brings back memories of my very first U.S. tour with Black Sabbath," he shared. Unsurprisingly, Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused made it onto his list, with Ozzy recalling the profound impact it had on him. He said: "My world stood still the first time I heard this." The Animals' hit Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood has long been a favourite for Ozzy, who considers it to have "always [been] a favourite". To complete his selection, the rock legend included Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, praising it heavily. Ozzy said: "Great melody. Great lyrics. Great song. I love Elton John!".

Classic film considered 'coolest of all time' is now streaming for free
Fans who are lovers of the best classic movies are in for a treat as a film considered one of the coolest ever made is now streaming for free. Starring iconic Hollywood actors Paul Newman and Robert Redford, 1969 flick Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is currently available to watch at no cost on BBC iPlayer. The top-grossing film of its year, the Western buddy movie went on to be nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture and director, winning four. There is literally a Reddit thread titled 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – coolest film ever?' where fans discussed its appeal, so don't take it just from me. Helmed by George Roy Hill (who also directed Newman and Redford in 1973's The Sting) and written by Academy Award winner William Goldman, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid follows the titular members of the outlaw Hole-in-the-Wall gang in 1899 Wyoming. They flee to Bolivia after a train robbery gone wrong with Sundance (Redford)'s lover Etta Place (Katharine Ross), attempting to go straight for the first time after struggling to rob banks in Spanish – but a posse is in hot pursuit. 'It's a classic, and I don't use that term lightly,' shared John W in an audience review on Rotten Tomatoes, while Jamie X posted: 'A beautiful film in every way. The cinematography, characters, story and soundtrack, are all on another level. I simply can't recommend enough.' 'This western movie had it all. Fast action, comedy, whimsical, intense [sic.] intrigue and fast gun play with two of the most dynamic male actors of their time,' added Edward B. Redford, 88, largely retired from acting in 2018, having also appeared in the likes of The Great Gatsby, All the President's Men and Out of Africa, as well as a stint in Marvel Cinematic Universe as Alexander Pierce. He was nominated for best actor and best director twice each at the Academy Awards, winning for his filmmaking in 1980 for Ordinary People, his directorial debut. Newman died in September 2008 aged 83 after a career that saw him nominated for 10 acting Oscars, winning best actor for The Colour of Money in 1987. He also starred in movies including Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Road to Perdition. 'Everything I wanted in a movie is here,' enthused another fan, while Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was also praised as 'the ultimate buddy movie' and a 'classic Western that I just never get tired of watching'. 'Redford and Newman at it again. If you don't love Butch and Sundance, then you don't love cinema,' insisted another lover of the movie. Many cinema fans have intense nostalgia around the film as well, remembering first watching it upon its release decades ago. 'One of the best, a film from my childhood I've had the pleasure of discovering again as an adult,' shared Robin Sattahip on Google, while Ray Moore shared: 'I watched this wonderful movie the week it was released and fell in Love with K. Ross as well with R.R. and Paul whom [sic.] I was already a fan. I have seen it so many times.' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid appears in multiple AFI lists, including ranking 73rd in the institute's 10th anniversary edition of their 100 Years… 100 Movies list of greatest American films. More Trending Based on real-life figures in the Old West, the film is famous too for its anachronistic use of the very 1960s Burt Bacharach and Hal David song Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head. It's also preserved by the Library of Congress in the United States National Film Registry by for its 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant' status. Other stone-cold classic films currently available to watch on iPlayer include The Shining, Don't Look Now and John Wayne classic Western The Searchers.
