Ozzy Osbourne was a legend in the heavy metal world, but he was also a father of six and a dedicated family man.
The Black Sabbath singer died at 76 years old on July 22, 2025, his family confirmed in a statement.
“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. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
Ozzy was survived by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, as well as ex-wife Thelma Riley and their three kids, Elliot, Jessica and Louis.
Below, Us Weekly shares everything to know about Ozzy’s surviving children:
Elliot Kingsley
Ozzy met Riley in 1971 while she was working at a nightclub called Rum Runner in Birmingham, England. She had a 5-year-old son named Elliot at the time, whom Ozzy went on to adopt after he and Riley tied the knot later that year. The identity of Elliot’s biological father has not been publicly revealed.
While not much is known about Elliot, he is reportedly an actor and has appeared in stage performances of Romeo and Juliet and Fiddler on the Roof.
Jessica Osbourne
After Ozzy married Riley, the pair welcomed daughter Jessica in 1972.
Today, Jessica leads a mostly private life in England. Though she never appeared on camera on her father and his second wife’s MTV show The Osbournes, Jessica did call Ozzy in season 2 to share that he was a grandfather for the first time. She had given birth to a daughter named Isabella. Later, Jessica welcomed kids Harry and Kitty.4
After her father’s death, Jessica quietly honored Ozzy with a post via her Instagram Stories.
“RIP Ozzy,” she wrote alongside a photo reposted from the ON With Mario Lopez radio show’s account.
Louis Osbourne
In addition to Jessica, Ozzy and Riley shared son Louis, who was born in 1975. Like his sister, Louis has mostly remained out of the spotlight. However, he was present for Ozzy’s final Black Sabbath concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5, 2025.
“I was sobbing at times. It was everything we wanted it to be and more,” he wrote on Facebook after the show, according to BBC. “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.”
Louis continued, “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.”
Louis met wife Louise in 2002, and the pair tied the knot in Ireland later that year. They now live in Birmingham, where Louis works as a label owner, DJ and producer. The couple shares two kids, Elijah and Maia.
Louis quietly honored his father after Ozzy’s death by changing his Facebook profile photo to a black circle.
Aimee Osbourne
After Ozzy and Riley divorced in 1982, he tied the knot with Sharon. The couple then welcomed daughter Aimee in London in September 1983. Aimee lived with her parents in California until she was 16 years old, moving out after they began filming The Osbournes with her siblings Kelly and Jack.

“I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and … I always really valued my privacy within that family,” she said on New York’s Q104.3 radio station. “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.”
Despite not agreeing with her family’s reality TV path, Aimee followed in her dad’s footsteps with her music career. She became the lead singer of the band ARO in 2015, with the band’s first single, “Raining Gold,” inspired by her experience as the daughter of a famous rockstar.
“I wanted the song to touch on how overwhelming and isolating it feels to be constantly misunderstood and the importance of choosing to break free from that and just believing in yourself,” Aimee told Rolling Stone. “It’s so valuable to always try and put yourself in someone else’s shoes. I hope this song reminds people of that.”
Kelly Osbourne
Ozzy and Sharon welcomed daughter Kelly in London in October 1984.
While appearing on The Osbournes from 2002 to 2005, Kelly began pursuing a music career. She released her debut album, Shut Up!, in 2002, followed by Sleep in Nothing in 2005. However, she ultimately followed in Sharon’s footsteps by becoming a TV host and judge on Project Runway, Project Catwalk and Fashion Police. Kelly also competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2009 and finished in third place.
Kelly began dating Slipknot’s Sid Wilson in 2022. The pair welcomed son Sidney later that year. They also got engaged backstage at Ozzy’s final Black Sabbath concert.
“F*** off, you’re not marrying my daughter,” Ozzy jokingly told Wilson, as seen in a video shared via Kelly’s Instagram. However, Wilson told her, “Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?”
Kelly broke her silence on Ozzy’s death two days after his passing.
“I feel unhappy I am so sad,” she wrote via Instagram Stories, quoting Black Sabbath’s song “Changes.” “I lost the best friend I ever had.”
Days later, she shared a message thanking fans for their support.
“I’ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don’t know if the words will ever feel like enough … but from the bottom of my heart, thank you 💜,” she wrote. “The love, support, and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.”
Kelly concluded, “Grief is a strange thing. It sneaks up on you in waves — I will not be OK for a while — but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. Thank you for being there. I love you all so much.”
Jack Osbourne
Sharon and Ozzy welcomed son Jack in November 1985 in London. The family lived in the U.K. until Jack was 6 years old, at which point they relocated to California temporarily before going back to England. However, when Jack was 11 years old, they moved from England back to California.
Kelly Osbourne is in full mommy mode. The TV personality, 40, opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about her son, Sidney, entering his “terrible twos,” a childhood development phase that often includes tantrums and more expressive emotions. “It’s insane. I never get a second,” Osbourne shared at the Clarins ICONS Event in Los Angeles last […]
Jack has followed his own path, becoming a paranormal investigator. However, he still involved his parents in his career. His Travel Channel series The Osbournes Want to Believe features Jack showing Ozzy and Sharon footage of paranormal activity and asking for their input.
Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 26 years old in 2012.
“I have had some alternative therapy treatments over the years. I do not take traditional MS medication currently,” he said on “The Osbournes Podcast” in 2024.
Jack married actress Lisa Stelly in October 2012, and the pair welcomed daughters Pearl Clementine, Andy Rose and Minnie Theodora. He and Stelly divorced in March 2019, and he got engaged to Aree Gearhart in December 2021. Jack and Gearhart welcomed daughter Maple Artemis in March 2022.
Jack posted a tribute to his late dad on August 6, 2025.
“I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much,” he wrote. “I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be a part of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad.’ My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.”
Jack also shared a quote by author Hunter S. Thompson, which he said “best describes my father.”
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body … but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a ride!’” Jack wrote, quoting Thompson’s book The Proud Highway: The Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967.
“That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully. I love you dad,” he concluded.
