Who Are Ozzy Osbourne's 6 Kids?

The following article contains references to substance misuse.

The death of Black Sabbath lead vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, at 76, marked the end of a remarkable life and career. The heavy metal icon passed away unexpectedly on July 22, 2025, "with his family and surrounded by love," as Ozzy's spokesperson confirmed to People and several other outlets. The rocker had struggled with Parkinson's disease and other health issues in recent years, but he still managed to give an accomplished final performance with his iconic band just two weeks before he passed away. 

Although the singer's loss was a blow to the music world, it was obviously even harder for his family. Ozzy is survived by his second wife, Sharon Osbourne, and his six children from two marriages. Two of the younger Osbournes, Kelly and Jack, achieved fame as teens through their hit MTV reality show, "The Osbournes," which followed the unconventional clan as they dealt with issues both big (Sharon's cancer diagnosis) and small (their dogs' toilet habits). Although less well known, Ozzy's other kids are no less proud of their dad. Here's what to know about the heirs to the throne of the Prince of Darkness.

When he was in his early twenties, Ozzy Osbourne married Thelma Riley, a single mom he'd met during a night out on the town. Fatherhood soon followed; the rocker adopted Riley's son Elliot Kingsley, and the happy couple welcomed daughter Jessica and son Louis Osbourne in 1972 and 1975, respectively. After 11 years, Ozzy and Riley split, and the children stayed with their mother, seeing their famous dad only occasionally. In the documentary "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne," Jessica recalled, "My recollection from my childhood with dad is that he'd be away for very long periods of time, and there'd always be a period of adjustment when he came home, and then it'd get to normality and then he'd go again," (via E! Online). Louis, who was also interviewed for the film, added that the Black Sabbath frontman was "a great dad" on the rare occasions when he wasn't intoxicated. 

In subsequent years, both Louis and Jessica grew closer to their father (Elliot, an actor based in England, has remained firmly out of the public eye). Jessica is a stage and film actor, who has appeared in "Better Call Saul" and "The Messengers." Though she never appeared on camera in "The Osbournes," Jessica was featured in one episode when she called to tell the iconic rocker that he was a grandfather. 

As for Louis, he followed in his father's footsteps by pursuing a career in the music industry. He has worked as a DJ, traveling to places like Ibiza, Frankfurt, and Brazil to perform.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne share three children. Their eldest, Aimée Osbourne, is the only one of the legendary singer's kids who actively fronts a band (ARO).

During the pandemic, ARO released the single "Shared Something With the Night" and its accompanying music video. While it may surprise many that the child of Ozzy Osbourne would have a hard time making it in the music industry, Aimée explained to Flaunt that this connection was a hinderance in a way. "The flip side of having a well known family name can sometimes attract individuals that tend to make assumptions & feel as though they are entitled to prove those assumptions in their favor," she explained. Nevertheless, her dad made no such assumptions. "[Ozzy] has always been incredibly supportive," she told the magazine. "That support within itself was a very encouraging influence."

Kelly Osbourne gained fame and fans as a mouthy teenager on "The Osbournes," which she parlayed into further fame as a singer and TV personality. Her credits include "Project Runway," "Fashion Police," and "Life as We Know It." But behind the scenes, she was a troubled young woman whose low self-image led to years of substance abuse. After multiple stints in rehab and some serious self-reflection, Kelly finally got her life together. Finding love with Slipknot turntablist and keyboardist Sid Wilson helped, and when the happy couple welcomed son Sidney in 2022, she found another reason to stay clean and focused. "I truly believe that my baby saved me and made me a whole person," Kelly proudly informed Us Weekly (per YouTube).  

Kelly was one of the family members cheering on her famous father at his final gig with Black Sabbath. "My dad got his moment in the sun!" she wrote on Instagram. "He was able to say thank you and goodbye in the most beautiful way!" The day was made even more memorable afterwards, when Wilson got down on one knee and proposed to her backstage. Naturally, the "Crazy Train" hitmaker couldn't let the moment pass without one of his signature quips, joking: "F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter!" An expert told The List that Kelly Osbourne's deeply personal engagement ring has a hefty price tag of around $200,000 but for the happy couple, it was surely worth every penny.

When you're the son of a heavy metal icon, you're unlikely to grow up dreaming about being an accountant or a businessman. In fact, Jack Osbourne once exclusively told The List that he wanted to study UFOs as a kid. And Ozzy Osbourne's youngest kid almost got his wish. Among the many projects Jack has worked on over the years is "The Osbournes Want to Believe," in which he and his parents explore supernatural phenomena. With Ryan Drexler, Jack currently co-hosts the podcast "Trying Not to Die," an examination of both traditional and unconventional anti-aging practices.

Like other members of his family, the dad of four girls has struggled with health and addiction issues throughout his life. Nowadays, Jack is more than two decades sober and boasts a trim figure after embracing a healthier lifestyle. In 2012, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which has affected Jack's sight and caused balance problems when he was on "Dancing with the Stars." But Jack clarified that he sees his condition as a motivator. "I'm always doing something and trying to accomplish something, whether it's work, something social or doing something active," he said on "Today." "So for that, I'm appreciative of it."

Jack was close to his famous father right up until the end of the rocker's life, including appearing with his family at the Midlands ComicCon in Birmingham, UK, less than two weeks before Ozzy's death. Jack also produced several documentaries about him, including an upcoming film about the final Black Sabbath concert. In one clip shared on Instagram, we see Ozzy showing a young Jack how to take a bow after a show. "And then what do you say?" asks the rocker. Jack replies, "Good night, we love you all!"

While being one of Ozzy Osbourne's children might seem like a walk in the park, the opposite was true for his daughter, Kelly Osbourne. Over the years, Kelly has struggled with substance misuse as well as addiction. During the pandemic, she found herself relapsing. Reflecting on this incident in an interview with Extra, Kelly revealed, "I am an addict and had thought that I had enough time under my belt and I could drink like a normal person, and it turns out I cannot and I will never be normal. I don't know why I even tried it. It's not for me and it took me a matter of days and I was like done, not doing this."

Although Kelly could not pinpoint the exact cause of her relapse, she wondered if it might have been a form of self-sabotage. As she put it in the same interview, "I don't know why my nervous breakdown happened at the end of the lockdown, I made it all the way through, everything was great and my life was perfect. I'm that girl that when everything is going great I need to f**k it up a little and make everything a little bit worse in my life."

Despite her history of self-sabotage, Kelly was able to return to sobriety. She also opened up about her experience as a way to own her actions. "You can help other people. That's why I came clean," she said.

Different people have a different relationship to fame. As for Aimée Osbourne, she has mixed feelings about her public life. On one hand, she is growing increasingly famous — albeit arguably as a celeb nepo baby. On the other hand, she has historically demonstrated resistance to the glitz and glam associated with being one of Ozzy Osbourne's children. This was evident back in 2002 when Aimée refused to appear on her family's reality show, "The Osbournes." Explaining her decision in a later interview with the New York-based radio show, Q1043, Aimée shared, "For me, I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and ... I always really valued my privacy within that family" (via People). It seems she was okay being a celebrity kid that nobody really knew about.

In that same interview, Aimée went on to confess that her values also didn't align with those of the TV show. "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, [participating in 'The Osbournes'] didn't really line up with what I saw my future as," she explained. That being said, Aimée did not judge the rest of her family for appearing on the small screen. "It definitely worked great for the rest of my family," she conceded.

To ensure she'd never be in front of the cameras, Aimée actually moved out of the house at just 16 years old. Her mother confessed on "The Talk" that the decision "broke [her] heart" at the time (via People). However, Aimée seems to have made this decision to shelter her relationship with her family. "Being so aware of my father's presence in the media growing up, my private life with him and my family was something to be protected," she explained on "The Michael Anthony Show."

Unlike her siblings, Aimée has also avoided other reality shows, never lacing up her dancing shoes to samba for the judges on "Dancing with the Stars," as both her younger brother and sister have done. She maintains her connection to their famous family in different ways, such as creating a film production company with Jack Osbourne.

On July 5, 2025, Ozzy Osbourne gave his last public performance. The singer's son, Louis Osbourne, supported him every step of the way. As reported by the BBC at the time, Louis admitted to worrying about his dad's ability to make it through the show — especially given his health constraints. As Louis wrote in a Facebook post, "I had been anxious for months about this as I've been worried about my dad's ability to perform with his Parkinson's disease. I just wanted it to be a dignified send off for him" (via BBC). 

Luckily for Louis, Ozzy's final show went off without a hitch. "As soon as he started singing we knew he was gonna nail it," Louis wrote in the same Facebook post. "I know he was frustrated as you could see he wanted to get up and tear up the stage like old times. But he did great ... Just perfect." One of the most emotional moments of the evening came after the performance — when other big names in the music industry paid Ozzy tribute. Musicians like Axl Rose and James Hetfield even swung by his dressing room to tell him what an inspiration he was. "I witnessed ... [Ozzy] meeting Axl Rose for the first time and Axl telling him how much he inspired him. Then James Hetfield thanking him for everything and how he had shaped his entire career."

Louis went on to reveal that the night included even more nostalgia, as he visited the childhood home of his father. "My pride and love are off the scale," he wrote. "What a day! Mindblowing!"

Grief is not an easy emotion to confront, and Ozzy Osbourne's children know it. Following the singer's death on July 22, 2025, his offspring mourned him in vastly different ways. As noted by People, Jessica and Louis Osbourne both expressed their sadness on social media shortly after their father died. Jessica reposted a photo of her father — originally shared by "On with Mario Lopez" — to her Instagram Stories. Rather than share any explicit feelings, she simply noted "RIP Ozzy." Louis, meanwhile, made his sentiments clear by changing his profile pictures on Facebook and Instagram to matching black circles.

In addition to the changes to his profile pictures, Louis Osbourne signed a family statement addressing the matter of Ozzy's death. "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," the statement read (via Hello! magazine). "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." Interestingly, the statement — which was also signed by Sharon, Aimée, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne — was missing two names. Neither Elliot nor Jessica's names appeared alongside their siblings'. This omission has led some fans to wonder if there are family troubles brewing among Ozzy's kids.

If there were family problems among Ozzy Osbourne's children in 2025, it certainly wouldn't be the first time. Not all of the singer's kids have always gotten along. Kelly and Aimée Osbourne have been known to spar with each other in a totally public way. Speaking on the "Armchair Expert" podcast, Kelly Osbourne — who has been noted for her extreme plastic surgery transformation as of late – said that she and Aimée are not friends. "We don't talk. We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her," she said.

While this sentiment may be shocking for some, the Osbourne family's biggest friends know that there are other rifts among the siblings. Aimée has separately admitted to having a hard time getting along with her brothers and sisters. As she told the Independent in 2015, "I wouldn't say there is an ease between us but there is an acceptance. Do we socialize? No." The firmness of this answer implies that there are plenty of conflicts between Ozzy's kids that are perhaps better off not said. While the source of this friction may not be public knowledge, fans surely hope that the Osbourne offspring reconcile in light of their shared grief over their father's death.
