The Osbourne family has bid an emotional farewell to legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in his hometown of Birmingham, England. Sharon Osbourne and their children—Kelly, Jack, and Aimee—joined thousands of grieving fans for the funeral procession, accompanied by Ozzy’s son Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
Dressed in black, the family was seen greeting fans with peace signs and laying purple flowers at a memorial filled with notes and tributes.
Sharon, visibly emotional, was comforted by her children as she wore what appeared to be Ozzy’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck. Kelly embraced her fiancé Sid Wilson and their young son Sidney, while rarely-seen Aimee stood with the family, having always kept a low profile away from the spotlight.
Notably absent were Ozzy’s other children from his first marriage, Jessica and Elliot. Fans filled the streets as the procession made its way through Broad Street, organized by the Birmingham City Council. Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward were also in attendance, with tributes pouring in from fellow stars, including Elton John and Yungblud.
Known as the “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy died at 76 surrounded by loved ones, just weeks after performing with Black Sabbath one final time before 42,000 fans at Villa Park.
Despite his frail health from Parkinson’s disease, Ozzy’s final wishes reflected his humor and resilience—he once joked that his funeral could include Justin Bieber and coffin-pranks, insisting it be a celebration rather than a somber occasion. In a family statement, Sharon and the children asked for privacy while mourning the loss of their beloved Ozzy, remembering him with deep love and gratitude.
