Aimee Osbourne, the eldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, has spoken publicly about her late father’s health struggles — offering an emotional glimpse into the toll his medical issues took on their family.
The comments appear in the newly released documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now, which chronicles Ozzy Osbourne’s final years, his ongoing health battles, and his emotional farewell concert in July 2025 — just days before his passing.
Aimee Reflects on Watching Her Father Suffer
While Aimee Osbourne has often chosen to remain out of the public eye, her words in the documentary reveal the immense emotional weight of watching her father endure years of pain following a botched 2018 surgery.
“We’re kind of raised to believe that doctors are superheroes, in a way,” she said. “And although they’re very skilled – some of them – a lot of them really don’t have the answers.”
She continued, recalling the heartbreaking moment she realized the seriousness of her father’s condition.
“He’s had many accidents that I’ve seen, but you could tell this was not one he was going to get away with in the same way,” Aimee explained. “He was in great distress and a lot of pain… I can’t imagine many people are used to seeing their parents like that.”
In Ozzy: No Escape From Now, Sharon Osbourne sheds light on what went wrong with the 2018 procedure that left the Black Sabbath icon in chronic pain for years.
“We finally found a surgeon that said, ‘They were overly aggressive with your operation. They’ve done stuff that you didn’t need doing,’” Sharon revealed.
She went on to explain the extent of the surgical damage.
“And what this other surgeon had done was, he’d put plates either side with all these screws and apparently that didn’t need to be done. So he caused even more damage. They took out the metal plates and the screws that were in Ozzy and tried to patch up as much as he could, but the main damage was done.”
A Legacy of Strength and Resilience
Despite his failing health, Ozzy Osbourne remained determined to keep performing. His resilience became an inspiration to millions of fans worldwide, even as his mobility and pain worsened in the years following surgery.
The documentary highlights how Ozzy’s willpower — and the support of his family — allowed him to continue creating music and performing well into his seventies.
The No Escape From Now film captures the highs and lows of his final chapter: from battling physical decline to taking the stage for one last time.
Aimee’s Quiet Strength in the Background
While her siblings Kelly and Jack Osbourne often appeared alongside their parents in the spotlight, Aimee Osbourne maintained a more private lifestyle. Her decision to speak out now underscores just how deeply her father’s ordeal affected her.
Her words reflect the pain of watching a parent — a man who once symbolized energy and rebellion — gradually lose his strength to health complications beyond anyone’s control.
“Ozzy: No Escape From Now” Chronicles His Final Days
The new documentary paints an unflinching portrait of Ozzy Osbourne’s life, legacy, and final performances. It covers his battles with Parkinson’s disease, multiple surgeries, and the mental toll of declining health — while celebrating his enduring influence on rock music.

For fans, it’s a rare and intimate look inside the life of the man behind the legend — through the eyes of the people who loved him most.
A Touching Goodbye

Her candid perspective in Ozzy: No Escape From Now adds emotional depth to an already powerful farewell — one that honors both the music and the man.
