Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Aimee gives heartbreaking insight into the rock legend’s final years

by

Aimee Osbourne, daughter of Ozzy Osbourne, has shared a sad look at what his final years were like.

For years, the 42-year-old has preferred to stay out of the public eye, earning the nickname ‘the quiet Osbourne.’ Now, he’s the subject of a new documentary, *Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now*, available on Paramount Plus.

After staying private for a long time, she’s now featured prominently in a two-hour documentary about her father, Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic singer of Black Sabbath, who passed away at 76 in July.

A new documentary offers an unprecedented look at the entire Osbourne family – Ozzy, Sharon, and their three children, Aimee, Kelly (40), and Jack (39).

The documentary features recordings made before the famous musician passed away, and follows his struggles with various health issues during the last six years of his life.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve followed the Osbourne family for years, and it’s well-known that Aimee, often called the ‘silent’ Osbourne, has had a complicated relationship with her family. Reports suggest things haven’t always been easy, especially with her sister Kelly, and it seems they’ve navigated some challenging dynamics over the years.

However she has now spoken openly about her father’s final years in the new documentary.

In a direct address to the camera, she remembered when her father fell in 2019, which required him to be hospitalized and undergo surgery.

Oh my god, when I heard Ozzy had to postpone everything, I was devastated! It turns out that fall at his house really messed up his neck and spine – something he originally hurt way back in 2003 when he had that awful quad bike accident. It just broke my heart knowing he was in so much pain and couldn’t perform. I was so worried about him!

In the documentary, Aimee explains that the health issues were deeply upsetting for him and he struggled to recover after having to cancel his tour. It was a particularly painful experience.

Aimee reflects on a difficult period, explaining that while we often see doctors as all-knowing and capable, the reality is many don’t have solutions for every problem, despite their expertise.

Honestly, it broke my heart hearing about him being in the hospital for weeks. It wasn’t just the physical fall, you know? He was completely shaken up, traumatized even. To go through something so awful and *not* be able to just power through it like he always does… it was awful. And then having to cancel the tour? That was the thing that really destroyed him, I could just *feel* it. It was his biggest heartbreak, without a doubt.

Honestly, it breaks my heart even hearing Sharon talk about it in the documentary. She says they brought Ozzy home after just three months, but the pain… it just *never* went away. It’s awful to think about him suffering like that, even now. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for both of them.

It was truly awful dealing with it all the time, and while Ozzy is known for being dramatic, this wasn’t an act. He’d do anything to get painkillers, but this time, it was genuine.

‘You can’t enjoy anything,’ added Ozzy of his tough recovery.

Aimee was the only Osbourne who was determined to avoid the spotlight.

The filming became so intense that Aimee Osbourne, only 16 years old at the time, decided to leave her family’s large home in Beverly Hills.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Osbournes for years, and while everyone was discovering Kelly and Jack on MTV back in 2002, I always knew Aimee was different. She quietly chose to stay out of the spotlight and didn’t want any part of reality TV, even as her siblings became global stars. It always struck me as a really brave and independent decision.

I remember reading that Kelly and her sister went through a really tough time where they stopped talking completely. She actually said in an interview that they just couldn’t seem to connect or understand where the other was coming from, which was so sad to hear.

Aimee was by Ozzy’s side during his last days and participated in the family documentary, creating a heartwarming display of togetherness. The documentary details the rocker’s long struggle with health issues.

Following a fall, he received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, which is caused by his genes, and unfortunately never regained his full ability to move.

Ozzy opens up for the first time about a difficult period where he became severely depressed and considered taking his own life.

In a characteristic and surprisingly candid message shared after his passing, Ozzy reveals the troubling thoughts that haunted him throughout his life.

I struggled with really dark thoughts when I considered stopping live performances. It got so bad that I ended up needing antidepressants, as I was having suicidal thoughts.

He jokes about it, though, saying he quickly questioned his own idea. Knowing himself, he’d likely go through with it and end up in terrible shape – maybe even setting himself on fire, but somehow surviving. He attributes this to just being incredibly lucky.

Aimee explained the situation calmly, noting that while he’d been in accidents before, this one felt different – more serious, and less likely to end without consequences.

Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now is available to stream on Paramount Plus from October 7.
