Ozzy is survived by his wife and kids
The Black Sabbath frontman introduced much of his irreverent family to the world on the MTV reality show ‘The Osbournes,’ where they entertained viewers with their move into a new mansion in Beverly Hills. Ozzy and Sharon opened the doors to their home and introduced their kids, Jack and Kelly, who were 17 and 18 at the time, and occasionally their daughter Aimee, who was 19. But before marrying Sharon in 1982, the rocker was married to Thelma Riley from 1971 to 1982, and they had three children together: Elliot, Jessica, and Louis.

The Inheritance
Here’s a look at Ozzy Osbourne’s children—his heirs—and what they do. Over more than five decades in the spotlight, the iconic Black Sabbath frontman built an estimated fortune of $220 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His wealth comes from his successful run with Black Sabbath, his solo career, and the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes, for which he earned $20,000 per episode in the first season and up to $5 million in the second thanks to its massive popularity. Ozzy’s fortune will be divided among his wife, Sharon Osbourne—who played a key role in his career—and his children from both his first marriage to Thelma Riley and his union with Sharon.

IIn an episode of The Osbournes, Ozzy joyfully shares that his daughter Jessica had a baby girl, a moment that deeply moved him as he became a grandfather. Jessica works in the entertainment industry, primarily in the costume and makeup departments for various film and television projects. She also directed the short film titled Yellowville.

Aimee Osbourne
Aimee is the oldest of the three children Ozzy had with Sharon, born on September 2, 1983. The absence of her name and face in family photos intrigued fans of The Osbournes. At just 16, she moved out of the family home, and by the time the show premiered, 19-year-old Aimee chose not to be part of the series, only making a few brief cameos. Now 41, she has followed in her father’s musical footsteps and is the lead singer of the band ARO.
