Who are Ozzy Osbourne's six children?

The late Ozzy Osbourne was a father to six children when he died at the age of 76 on July 22.

The Black Sabbath frontman shares three children with his first wife, Thelma Riley, and three with his second wife Sharon Osbourne.

While his older children remained out of the spotlight, Ozzy and Sharon, as well as Kelly and Jack, who were teenagers at the time, starred on the popular MTV show The Osbournes between 2002 and 2005. The eldest child of the marriage, Aimee, declined to participate in the series.

Four of his children were standing next to Sharon at the late rocker's funeral procession in Birmingham, England.

Here’s everything you need to know about Ozzy’s children.

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne , who got engaged to her long-term partner Sid during Ozzy’s final performance in July, is a TV personality and singer. She found fame by starring in the family’s reality TV show alongside her brother Jack.

Kelly had a brief career in music, just like her father. Her first album, Shut Up!, was released in 2002 while her second album, Sleep in Nothing, came out in 2005.

She then changed careers to follow in her mother's footsteps, landing roles as a judge and host on Fashion Police, Project Catwalk, and Project Runway. She placed third in the 2009 Dancing with the Stars competition on ABC.

Commenting on the death of her father, Kelly said: “I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had”.

At the funeral, she was pictured holding her mother’s hand as they gazed at the tributes that fans had left for her late father. Donning platinum blonde hair and dark sunglasses, the 40-year-old mum of one was tearful as she stood by her mum’s side.

Jack Osbourne

Jack, 39, is also known as a reality TV star and television personality. He now has his own podcast and continues to make a number of television appearances.

He wed actress Lisa Stelly in a private ceremony in Hawaii in October 2012, but declared their separation in October 2018 and finalised their divorce in March 2019. They had three daughters during their marriage: Andy Rose, Minnie Theodora, and Pearl Clementine.

Jack revealed his relationship with Aree Gearhart to the public in November 2019 following their joint appearance at the American Music Awards. They were engaged by December 2021 and welcomed a daughter called Maple in 2022.

In 2012, Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord.

Aimee Osbourne

Ozzy and Sharon’s eldest daughter, 41-year-old Aimee, left the family's California home at the age of 16 when the rest of the family started filming for The Osbournes.

During a 2018 episode of The Talk, Sharon spoke about how this impacted her: “She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea — it was appalling to her. And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did. It broke my heart when she moved.”

While her younger siblings found fame in the noughties throught the reality show The Osbournes, Aimee kept a low profile and didn’t appear in the show.

She subsequently clarified that she didn't want to appear on the show at the expense of her privacy during an interview on New York's Q1043 radio program in 2020.

“I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and...I always really valued my privacy within that family. 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.”

Aimee also followed in her dad's musical footsteps. In 2003, she appeared in the MTV musical adaptation of Wuthering Heights and is currently a singer and actress who performs under the name ARO.

Jessica Starshine Osbourne

Jessica is Ozzy’s daughter from his marriage to his first wife, Thelma.

Like the other Osbourne family members, 45-year-old Jessica also works in entertainment and has been a producer for popular shows like Better Call Saul (2015) and Manhattan (2014).

Ozzy had previously admitted that he didn’t share as close a relationship with his eldest children.

Louis Osbourne

Ozzy and Thelma’s son Louis was born in 1975, making him 50 years old. He runs his own record label and is reportedly living in Birmingham with his wife and two children.

In July 2025, a few days before Ozzy’s death, Louis attended his Black Sabbath’s last show, describing the performance as “hugely emotional” in a Facebook post afterwards.

According to the BBC, he wrote: “I was sobbing at times. It was everything we wanted it to be and more. 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. But as soon as he started singing we knew he was gonna nail it.”

Elliot Kingsley

Elliot is the son of Thelma and a previous partner whom Ozzy later adopted as his own son while they were married.

Little is actually known about Kingsley, but reports claim that he has worked as an actor and similarly embraced the entertainment world like the rest of Osbourne’s offspring.
