Stars’ rarely-seen daughter now looks very different

Unlike the rest of her famous family, she’s barely seen in public - but this spotlight-shunning daughter has undergone a big transformation.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne’s rarely seen eldest child, Aimee Osbourne, was spotted out in the UK on Sunday.

Aimee, 41, was photographed exiting a Manchester hotel alongside Brigitte Calls Me Baby frontman Wes Leavins, who is currently on tour in the country.

She wore a chic black leather jacket and jeans while rolling her luggage and clutching a cell phone.

She accessorised with black boots and layered necklaces, and styled her long brown hair down with bangs.

Aimee, now a member of synth pop band ARO, famously moved out of her family’s home at the age of 16 over their decision to star in MTV’s hit reality series The Osbournes, which premiered in 2002.

Her younger siblings, Jack, now 39, and Kelly, now 40, remained and rose to fame on the chaotic and beloved show alongside Ozzy and Sharon.

Aimee defended her decision not to star in the series in 2008.

“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,” she explained in an interview, per the Independent.

“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. [Sharon] was hurt, and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I’m more reserved and my private life is very important.”

Aimee elaborated on prioritising her privacy in a 2020 radio interview.

“For me, I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and … I always really valued my privacy within that family,” she told New York’s Q1043 radio at the time, per People.

“And for me personally, and for who I am, you know, as far as morally and also just to give myself a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager, it didn’t really line up with what I saw my future as.”

In 2018, Sharon, now 72, admitted she deeply regretted allowing Aimee to move out.

“She couldn’t live in our house because we were filming, and it drove her insane,” the mother of three said on The Talk.

“She felt too that she didn’t want to grow up on camera,” Sharon added. “She hated the idea. It was appalling to her. And so she left at 16, and I regret every day that she did.”

Aimee appeared in MTV’s 2003 musical Wuthering Heights, but mostly retreated into a life of privacy as the family became household names.

She was previously spotted stepping out with her mother in LA last year.

Her sister, Kelly, however, has said they “don’t talk.”

“We’re just really different,” Kelly told Dax Shepard on a 2021 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast.

“She doesn’t understand me, and I don’t understand her.”
