Aimee Osbourne gives rare interview about beloved dad Ozzy in new film of final years

Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Aimee has given a rare interview for a new film about the final years of his life and career.

The rarely seen daughter did not appear in TV series The Osbournes and has preferred to live out of the spotlight.

But she speaks about her father's harrowing battles with ill health as part of the film Ozzy: No Escape From Now which will be accessible for streaming from October 7 on Paramount+ globally.

The documentary is billed as the "definitive account" of the final six years of his existence, before he tragically passed away on July 22 just weeks following his last live show at home.

Black Sabbath legend Ozzy disclosed in 2020 he had received a Parkinson's disease diagnosis and he halted touring in 2023 following major spinal operations.

He suffered a fall at home in 2019 which worsened injuries from a nearly fatal quad bike accident in 2003.

"I went smack," Ozzy recalls of the tumble, whilst daughter Kelly states bluntly in the documentary "he had broken his f**king neck."

Aimee Osbourne reflects on how her father's mishap in 2019 proved transformative.

She said: "He was in hospital for weeks. To fall like that and not be able to bounce back like he had in the past, and then having to cancel the tour - that was his biggest heart-break,"

Fortunately, Ozzy managed to deliver one last performance at Villa Park with the Back To The Beginning show, taking place just weeks before his passing and featuring both solo numbers and several tracks with the original Black Sabbath lineup to fans' absolute joy. Millions watched the concert via streaming worldwide.

In the teaser for the film, Ozzy also appears during a frank chat and declares: "If my life is coming to an end I really can't complain. I've had a great life."

Spouse Sharon remarks: "He had a brilliant career and it ended in a brilliant way."

Ozzy and Sharon, along with children Aimee, Kelly and Jack Osbourne discuss openly about that late-night fall their father endured in February 2019 and the resulting life-altering consequences of that incident, which eventually forced him to axe his two-and-a-half-year farewell tour.

Son Jack reveals that following surgery after the tumble he "came out far worse". Wife Sharon discusses periods when he battled to remain motivated as his injuries affected his mental wellbeing.

Sharon said: "At that time, the depression was so bad. [He'd] be like what's the point in even getting up? I'm not getting up. I'm not working with the physiotherapist. What's the point?".

The rocker discloses how Take What You Want, his partnership with Post Malone - orchestrated by Kelly and producer Andrew Watt and launched in October 2019 - sparked a fresh musical chapter in his legendary career.

"It got me out of the blues. It helped me. That was the best medicine I ever had at that point," remarks Ozzy in the documentary, reflecting on recording the song.

Meanwhile Kelly remembers how she turned chauffeur him to various recording sessions with producer Andrew Watt to ensure progress continued.

Kelly said: "I took dad to the studio every single day. He would go into the studio in the basement of Andrew's house and get comfortable in this chair that Andrew bought him and it was like the magic would begin."

In the documentary's trailer, Ozzy is captured speaking with his characteristic wit, always refusing to take life too seriously.

A former party lover and heavy substance user, Ozzy quips: "The thing about getting older is I used to take pills for fun. Now I take just a lot."

He's also filmed declaring he only wished to perform a farewell concert if it could feature "the old Ozzy" commanding the stage.

Fortunately, months of physiotherapy and preparation ensured his final performance proved a massive triumph, with the documentary revealing how he departed on a triumphant note.

Producers reveal the new film was "never intended as a posthumous film".

Yet, following his passing on July 22, 2025, the documentary now serves as a tribute to Ozzy's "courage, wit, determination, and talent – qualities that ensure he remains a hero to millions around the world".

The production is described as an "intimate look at Ozzy's final act" and is helmed by BAFTA-winning director Tania Alexander.

As Black Sabbath's lead vocalist, the Birmingham-born artist is recognised for creating heavy metal, through anthems like Iron Man and Paranoid. In a statement released at the time of his passing in July, his family expressed: "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. He was with his family and surrounded by love."

*Ozzy: No Escape From Now will be available from October 7 on Paramount+.
