While one Osbourne sibling enjoyed a pampered afternoon in Los Angeles, the other braced for a gruelling challenge on the other side of the world. Aimee Osbourne, the eldest daughter of Sharon and the late Ozzy Osbourne, was seen in high spirits during a manicure appointment in Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills Bliss and Australian Anticipation
On Tuesday afternoon, Aimee Osbourne, 42, ventured out for a scheduled pampering session. The singer, dressed casually in a striped blouse and cropped jeans, greeted onlookers with a smile as she climbed into a waiting car after emerging from a local salon. She was accompanied by her musician boyfriend, Wes Leavins.
This relaxed outing stands in stark contrast to the preparations of her younger brother, Jack Osbourne. The 40-year-old TV personality arrived in Brisbane, Australia, on Wednesday, readying himself for the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, which is set to return to ITV on November 16.
A Family in Mourning: Jack's Emotional Challenge
Jack's journey into the jungle comes just months after the profound loss of his father, Ozzy Osbourne, who died of heart failure at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22 at the age of 76. The Black Sabbath legend's death came a mere two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his bandmates at Birmingham's Villa Park.
Reflecting on the difficulty of the upcoming experience, Jack previously admitted that being away from his wife, Aree Gearhart, and his four children will be a wrench, especially amidst the family's grief. 'It's absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind,' he said. 'I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing. It is going to be difficult, that is for sure.'
He expressed particular concern about the lack of contact, noting, 'It's going to be very difficult not speaking to my wife and kids. But yes, I do hope I can make my family proud.'
A Final Farewell and Full Family Support
Jack fondly recalled his father's last concert, describing it as a poignant farewell. 'Before he went on stage, I ran back into the dressing room, and I just gave him a big hug,' he told Good Morning America. He and his brother were moved to tears in the crowd, not out of sadness for Ozzy, but because 'we knew it was the last time.' Jack poignantly added, 'In hindsight, it kind of was a living wake.'
According to a TV insider, Jack enters the jungle with the full backing of his mother, Sharon, and his sister Kelly. The source also suggested that Jack is very likely to discuss Ozzy during his time on the show, which would create an incredibly moving moment for both his campmates and the viewers at home.
As Aimee returns to her life in Los Angeles, all eyes will be on her brother Jack as he faces the Australian jungle, carrying the memory of his legendary father with him.
