Aimee Osbourne was born in 1983 in London and spent her childhood alternating between the serene English countryside and the vibrant West Coast of America. Despite the eccentricity that surrounded her at home, she always felt a sense of love and care. Aimee even admitted to being an introverted child in a family known for their extroverted personalities.

She often found herself taking on the role of the controller, a role that seemed to come naturally to her. She found the indulgent and dramatic behavior of others to be frivolous. Her introverted nature also made navigating the social circles she was part of challenging.
In England, she grappled with feelings of guilt associated with her affluent background, and inviting school friends over was a challenge due to her father’s infamous reputation. At the dawn of the 2000s, when reality television was beginning to gain traction, the Osbournes were already well-known.

Ozzy, the lead singer of Black Sabbath, and his wife Sharon, a renowned and revered manager of rock acts, were familiar faces in the entertainment industry. However, when MTV proposed a reality show to the family, Aimee, discovering her identity amidst the chaos of family life, found the idea unappealing.
