Unknown Osbourne child who moved out at 16 and never appeared on TV show to reveal all
One of the lesser known Osbourne children who moved out of the family house to avoid being filmed for MTV's The Osbournes will appear in an upcoming documentary about her dad Ozzy.
The Black Sabbath singer sadly passed away earlier this year after making it to one final farewell concert, with his family around him in his final days.
Fans of pioneering reality show The Osbournes will be well aware of Ozzy and Sharon's children Kelly and Jack, but they have an older sibling who didn't want to be on it.
Aimee Osbourne, 42, previously explained why she turned down being on the show, telling 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."
Aimee said she was outvoted four to one on deciding whether or not to do the show, and moved out before filming started.
She went on to follow her father into the world of music, becoming the lead singer in the band ARO.
However, she will be in the upcoming documentary Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, which follows the legendary musician's final years of life up until his Back to the Beginning concert.
It'll follow his attempts to make it to the gig and his health issues along the way, which Ozzy ultimately overcame to get back on stage one last time.
In the documentary Aimee spoke of one of her dad's accidents and the impact it had on his health, saying: "He’s had many accidents that I’ve witnessed, but you could tell this was not one he was necessarily going to get away with in the same way."
Elsewhere in the documentary, there's interviews with Ozzy where he says he once looked online to see if he could buy bionic legs which could help him walk on stage again.
The legendary musician also mused on how he didn't think he'd make it to 76, saying he'd 'had a great life' if he was nearing the end.
He said: "I didn’t think I was going to live past 40. I shouldn’t have lived past 40. But I did. If my life is coming to an end, I really can’t complain. I’ve had a great life."
In another interview for the documentary, Ozzy credited Sharon for him making it as far as he did in life, saying: "If it wasn’t for Sharon Osbourne, I would not be there now.
"I would definitely not have the success, or wouldn’t be sober. I’d be six feet under. All the guys I used to do drugs with, they’re all dead. The one thing I did have was my Sharon."
Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now will be available to stream on Paramount+ from 7 October onwards.
