Despite her father’s fame, Jessica has largely maintained a private life, focusing on her own career and family.
Early Life and Family Background
Jessica was born into a family deeply rooted in the music industry. Her father, Ozzy Osbourne, gained worldwide recognition as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. Her mother, Thelma Riley, was a teacher who led a relatively private life.
Jessica has one biological sibling, an elder brother named Louis Osbourne, and several half-siblings from her father’s subsequent marriage to Sharon Osbourne: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne.
Career in the Entertainment Industry

Personal Life
