Ozzy Osbourne's funeral was an emotional event for his fans, friends, and family, including his spotlight-shy daughter Aimee Osbourne.

The singer, infamously known as the heavy metal icon's "forgotten" daughter, made a rare public appearance at her father's funeral procession. The event occurred on Wednesday, July 30, in Birmingham, England.

Ozzy Osbourne passed away at 76 on July 22, 2025, after cementing his name in the halls of rock and roll legends. He welcomed three children, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, with his longtime partner, Sharon Osbourne. He also shared three children with his first wife, Thelma Riley.

The funeral procession stopped on the street, allowing thousands of fans to honor Ozzy's memory alongside his family. As seen in pictures shared by PEOPLE, Aimee joined her mother and younger siblings as they paid tribute to the late rockstar with purple flowers.

Aimee's rare public appearance with her family came days after a source confirmed she was with Ozzy in his final days. The Blast reported that the infamous "forgotten" daughter had traveled from Los Angeles to the UK to spend time with her father.

"Kelly has been at the house a lot in the last week or so, so has Aimee. It is terribly sad for all of them; they really hoped he would be able to carry on for a bit longer. But it's so lovely that he had his children around him during his last days," the source said.

It was signed "Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis," with the latter referencing Ozzy's son from his first marriage.

How Aimee Gained Her Infamous Label

Aimee, who performs under the moniker ARO, became known as Ozzy's "forgotten" daughter due to her insistence on avoiding the spotlight. Ozzy and his family rose to fame on the MTV series "The Osbournes," with thousands coming to believe the late singer only had two children, Kelly and Jack.

The misunderstanding stemmed from Aimee's refusal to participate in the show. She was against having her life displayed on TV and opted to move out at 16. Additionally, she kept a low profile throughout the years and avoided the spotlight while her family thrived in it.

A source implied that Aimee's need to stay under the radar was why she skipped Ozzy's farewell concert on July 5. They claimed she told pals she intentionally missed the Black Sabbath reunion show because she wanted to protect herself, her parents, and her siblings.

Safety officers patrolled the area, ensuring no one was on the streets before the procession began. There was also an enormous pile of gifts and tributes on the Black Sabbath Bench, which has since been converted into a memorial site by grieving fans.

Aimee wasn't the only "forgotten" child in the Osbourne family, as Ozzy's children from his first marriage were not as popular. The Blast shared that he welcomed two children, Louis and Jessica, with his ex-wife Thelma Riley and adopted her son, Elliot, from a previous relationship.

Louis was mentioned in the Osbourne family's joint statement addressing Ozzy's death. However, it was unclear if he was among the children by the singer's side when he died. Like his siblings, the DJ honored his father's memory with a social media tribute.

Additionally, Louis changed his Facebook profile picture to a blank black photo to signify his grief. His sister, Jessica, similarly paid her respects to Ozzy on her Instagram Story by dropping a picture of her famous dad alongside the words: "RIP Ozzy."
