Kelly Osbourne reveals she has permanently cut off relationship with 'unknown' sibling Aimee
Aimee Osbourne has been accused of consciously separating herself from her famous family.
The eldest child of Sharon and late Black Sabbath icon Ozzy Osbourne, the 43-year-old is notable for not partaking in MTV's raucous docuseries The Osbournes, which was the first of its kind back in 2002.
Such was her aversion to the reality TV cameras, Aimee moved out of the family home at the age of 16.
She once told The Independent: "Back then, 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."

Now, whilst speaking to Paul Carrick Brunson on the We Need To Talk podcast, middle child Kelly Osbourne has opened up about their complicated dynamic.
"I respect [Aimee], I accept her, but we're different, and that's OK," she told Carrick Brunson, who appears on Celebs Go Dating as a relationship coach.
"If you're not going to accept me for who I am, and constantly be trying to change me and say horrible things about me, and truly seem to thrive when I'm not doing well, I don't want you in my life."
Asked whether reconciliation was ever going to be on the cards for her and Aimee, Kelly categorically rejected the idea.
"It's one of the hardest things of my life that I never got a big sister," she noted. "I had to learn how to do certain things that a big sister should have taught you on my own. I do have a resentment there.
"It was always me and [brother] Jack. If I'm honest, my older sister didn't really ever acknowledge me and my brother.
"She was just in her own world, doing her own thing. And I do to a certain extent, if I'm honest, I feel as though she was embarrassed of us."
This comes after Jack Osbourne weighed in on the Aimee situation during his 2025 episode of the Disrespectfully podcast.
He recalled of his sister's attitude way back when: "She really wanted to be a musician and the kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody [performer].
"And she deemed doing a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit. She was like, 'I'm not going to be seen riding coattails,' kind of thing, that's how she perceived it."
Jack continued: "Once the show was hugely successful I think she was kind of like, 'Well I can't now come on because I don't want to be seen even more so as jumping on the bandwagon.' And she dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.
"We're not close at all. We don't have a great relationship. She'll be the first to tell you that, so it's no secret."
Dabbling in the synth-pop genre, Aimee has released one studio album (2020's Vacare Adamaré) and six singles under the moniker ARO.
