BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND: Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne's daughters, Kelly and Aimee, were reunited at their father's funeral on Wednesday, July 30, after being estranged for years.

Ozzy died on July 22, about five years after announcing he had Parkinson's disease. His funeral was held on July 30 in Birmingham, England.

Ozzy Osbourne's family was photographed at a funeral procession in the Black Sabbath frontman's hometown, where fans lined the streets to pay their respects.

Ozzy's daughters, Kelly and Aimee, flanked their mother, Sharon, for an emotional procession. They were joined by Louis Osbourne, one of Ozzy's children from his first marriage.

However, his oldest children, Jessica and Elliot, were seemingly missing.

During a 2021 appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast 'Armchair Expert', Kelly revealed that she wasn’t on speaking terms with her sister.

She said, "We don’t talk. We’re just really different. She doesn’t understand me and I don’t understand her."

Moreover, back in 2015, Aimee also talked about issues in her relationship with her siblings in a rare interview with The Independent.

Aminee said, "I wouldn’t say there is an ease between us. But there is an acceptance. Do we socialize? No."

Aimee distanced herself from her family in the early 2000s as she moved out of the family’s Los Angeles home at age 16 to avoid appearing on their MTV reality show.

Aimee told the outlet of her decision not to appear on the show, "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."

She added that she was the only member of the family who was against the idea of the show.

"It didn’t matter what I thought, ultimately. This was their path, their decision, and they were of course at liberty to take the opportunity. Which they did," Aimee said.

Meanwhile, back in 2018, Sharon said she regretted how things turned out with Aimee.

"She felt that she didn’t want to grow up on camera. And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did," Sharon said of Aimee in a 2018 episode of 'The Talk', per People.

Interestingly, Aimee had a close relationship with her parents, but the dynamic with her siblings was seemingly more fraught in recent years.

Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to her father after his death

Kelly Osbourne paid a heartfelt tribute to her Rock legend father after his death at 76 on July 22. She took to her Instagram Stories on July 24 to share lyrics from the song 'Changes,' a 2003 re-recording she made with Ozzy Osbourne.

She wrote, "I feel unhappy I am so sad," adding, "I lost the best friend I ever had."

Their song, released more than two decades ago, reached No 1 on the UK charts, making them the second father-daughter duo to top the list after Frank and Nancy Sinatra’s 'Somethin’ Stupid' in 1967.

Ozzy's family confirmed his death through an official statement signed by his wife, and their children, Kelly Osbourne, Jack Osbourne, Aimee Osbourne, and Louis Osbourne.

The statement said, "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning."

It added, "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."
