In a candid interview, Aimee Osbourne — the eldest daughter of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne — pulled back the curtain on the complex, often painful realities of life in one of music’s most famous families.

Aimee admitted feeling embarrassed by some of her family’s public revelations, from her father’s struggles with alcohol to her siblings’ open discussions about drinking and drug use. Still, she described Ozzy as “incredibly unique,” “talented,” and “misunderstood,” painting a picture of a man both larger than life and deeply human.

She revealed that while Ozzy has always wanted happiness for others, he has often forgotten to seek it for himself — something she believes stems from the toll of drugs, alcohol, stress, and a difficult upbringing. Though she sometimes wishes he would quit drinking entirely, Aimee confessed it’s even more heartbreaking to watch him battle to stay sober than it is to see him drink.

Her words offer a rare, intimate glimpse into the love, pain, and complexity behind the Prince of Darkness’s legendary career.
