For decades, Aimee Osbourne has been known as the “quiet Osbourne,” the daughter who chose to live out of the spotlight while her siblings, Kelly and Jack, became household names on MTV’s "The Osbournes." Now, at 42, Aimee has finally broken her silence in a deeply moving new documentary, "Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now," which premiered on October 7 on Paramount+.
The two-hour feature-length film brings together the entire Osbourne family for the first time on-screen, capturing intimate moments and raw memories of the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s turbulent final years before his death at 76 in July 2025.
Aimee Opens Up About the Fall That Changed Everything
In one of the documentary’s most emotional moments, Aimee recalls her father’s devastating fall in 2019 at his Los Angeles home. Already dealing with long-term injuries from a 2003 quad bike accident, Ozzy’s fall left him hospitalized and requiring surgery.
“He was traumatized,” Aimee says softly, describing how her father struggled to bounce back this time. “We’re kind of raised to believe doctors are superheroes in a way… but a lot of them don’t really have the answers. He was in hospital for weeks. To fall like that and then not be able to bounce back like he had in the past, and then having to cancel the tour—that was really, I think, his biggest heartbreak.”
The fall marked the beginning of Ozzy’s toughest battle yet, forcing him to abandon his beloved tours. For a man whose life revolved around the stage, the cancellation was a career setback and a crushing emotional blow.
Sharon and Ozzy Share the Pain
Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife of more than 40 years, reflects candidly on the toll the accident took on her husband. “After three months we brought him home, but the pain just never subsided. It was unbearable constantly,” she recalls.
Ozzy, never one to mince words, admitted: “You can’t enjoy anything.” Even with his trademark dark humor, his words reveal the profound suffering he endured.
In the documentary, Sharon also speaks openly about Ozzy’s reliance on pain medication, adding, “I know Ozzy’s a drama queen. He’ll do anything for a pain pill. But it was for real this time.”
Strained Bonds and Family Unity
For years, Aimee kept her distance from the Osbourne spotlight. When MTV’s "The Osbournes" invaded their Beverly Hills mansion in 2002, Aimee, then just 16, moved out rather than join her family on-screen. Her choice created a rift, particularly with her sister Kelly, who once admitted the two “didn’t understand each other.”
Yet in Ozzy’s final chapter, Aimee returned to the fold. The documentary shows the family united, recounting the highs and lows of his last years. Despite past tensions, Aimee’s voice sounds calming, offering insight only someone who lived quietly on the sidelines could provide.
Ozzy’s Battle With Parkinson’s and Depression
After his fall, Ozzy was diagnosed with a genetic form of Parkinson’s disease. He never regained full mobility, and the physical decline weighed heavily on his spirit. In the documentary, the Prince of Darkness speaks with shocking honesty about the depression that followed. “The thought of not doing gigs anymore—I went into a dark place,” Ozzy admits. “I was getting ready to off myself.”
Even in those bleak moments, Ozzy’s sardonic wit cut through: “But then I thought, ‘What are you f***ing talking about?’ Because knowing me, I’d do it and I’d be half dead… I’d set myself on fire and I wouldn’t die. That’s my luck.”
Aimee sums up her father’s resilience with quiet clarity: “He’s had many accidents that I’ve witnessed, but you could tell this was not one he was necessarily going to get away with in the same way.”
A Legacy Beyond the Music
"Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now" doesn’t just chronicle the end of a rock icon; it shines a light on the private moments behind the wild stage persona. Through family footage, unseen clips, and raw confessions, the documentary reminds fans that behind the heavy metal legend was a man who loved, suffered, laughed, and fought until the very end.
For Aimee, stepping into the spotlight is about honoring her father’s story, showing a side of him the world rarely saw, and finally letting her own voice be heard.
Ozzy’s legacy will forever live on through his music, his family, and his indomitable spirit. And thanks to this documentary, fans will see not only the Prince of Darkness, but also the man who faced his final years with grit, humor, and the love of his family.
Rest in peace, Ozzy!
