Ozzy Osbourne's Family Tree

Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76, and the world lost a rock icon, but his legacy extends far beyond platinum records and pyrotechnics. The Prince of Darkness left behind a kingdom that eschewed the spirit of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, one built on unconditional love, unyielding strength, and close family ties. At the center of this empire stands his wife of 43 years, Sharon Osbourne, the iron-willed matriarch who not only piloted his career but, by Ozzy's own estimation, saved his life more than once.

Their love affair, borne of chaos and solidified by loyalty, would be one of rock's most enduring partnerships. Sharon was there for Ozzy through drug addiction struggles, health crises, and career reinventions, and the made-for-TV matriarch helped him manage fame and keep a tight family unit intact. They had three children together: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. Ozzy also shares three children, Jessica, Louis, and Elliott, with first wife Thelma Riley. While those years were mainly spent out of the public eye, they will be a part of his extended family's lore and the Osbourne family's lore overall. Among the six children, Ozzy became a 10-time grandfather.

For decades, the Osbourne family has come to mean more than just a big name. They incarnated chaos, vulnerability, and unconditional love in a way that reached far beyond MTV. Ozzy may be gone, but the Osbourne reign is alive and loud and proud and as indelible as the man whose last name put them on the map. All in all, Ozzy's best hits were also profoundly personal. They were the people with whom he could share not just his name, but his fights and his backstage passes.
