Ozzy Osbourne’s devoted family joined the thousands of fans who had gathered in the streets of Birmingham on July 30 to pay their respects to the late Black Sabbath frontman.
Among them were Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s rarely-seen daughter Aimee, who is notoriously private.
She was joined by her mom, and siblings Jack, Kelly, Jessica and Luis.
Aimee, 41, was seen looking visibly emotional as she laid a flower down for her father, while looking at the many tributes dedicated to her dad.
The family – all dressed in black – acknowledged the crowds and waved, before getting back into the car. Ozzy’s grandchildren were also present, including Jack’s four young daughters, Pearl, Andie, Minnie and Maple, and Kelly’s baby son Sid.

It was announced on Tuesday that the Osbournes were covering the costs of the procession, ahead of a private funeral.

Having recently been awarded the Freedom of the City and following his celebrated appearance at the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park earlier this month, it was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral.
“We know how much this moment will mean to his fans. We’re proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began, and we are grateful that they have generously offered to pay to enable this to happen and support the city is giving him the farewell he deserves.”

Just two weeks before his death, he reunited on stage with Black Sabbath for a final farewell concert, that took place on July 5.
While Ozzy’s two youngest children, Kelly and Jack, have grown up in the public eye – rising to fame following the success of their hit reality TV show, The Osbournes, between 2002 and 2005 – his older children have stayed mainly out of the spotlight.

Aimee has followed in her dad’s footsteps with a successful music career, but tends to opt out of interviews, and made the decision not to appear in her family’s reality show in order to enjoy her teenage years in privacy.
