Ozzy Osbourne’s rarely seen daughter sighted with mother Sharon in their first public appearance since his death

Ozzy Osbourne's rarely seen daughter Aimee was pictured with her mother Sharon as the family gathered for the late star's funeral procession in Birmingham.

On Wednesday (30 July), the Osbournes - as well as thousands of Ozzy fans - gathered to pay tribute to the Black Sabbath singer in his hometown of Birmingham.

The family arrived at the procession in the afternoon, where Sharon, 72, could be seen hugging the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal.

Joining her was her children - Aimee, Jack and Kelly - with each family member carrying a pink flower wrapped in black paper which they added to the display of floral tributes.

Grieving fans gathered to pay their final respects to the star at Black Sabbath bridge.

Meanwhile, the hearse carrying Ozzy's coffin made its way through his home city as crowds cheered, clapped, chanted his name and threw roses.

Sharon was visibly emotional as she arrived with her family to see the fan tributes and procession.

And fans were quick to notice that Aimee Osbourne - who generally keeps out of the public eye - was present at the procession.

Aimee is their eldest child but moved out from the family home at just 16 years old before filming started.

She told The Independent in 2020: “I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life.

“So why on earth would I want that portrayed on television? I wanted to protect myself, my parents, my siblings, too. They were very young, very impressionable," she explained.

Aimee is now the lead singer of the band ARO, and thanks her parents for helping her break into the industry.

“My parents overheard me kind of singing in my room. It was a friend of my parents who said, 'Oh, you should come and stay with me and work with some producers and see what happens',” she recounted.

At the procession on Wednesday, Aimee could be seen comforting her mum as they made their way through crowds.

One wrote on X: "As a daughter I feel absolutely gutted for Kelly, Jack, Aimee & their other siblings. I also feel awful for Sharon, I just can’t put myself in her shoes but she must be going through it terribly."

While another said: "It is truly heart-breaking. My heart goes out to the Osbourne family during this difficult time."

And a third added: "God Bless Sharon, Kelly, Jack, Aimee, Louis and the family during this difficult time "
