Jessica was born into a life of domestic turmoil, although her parents were hastily in love when they married a year before she existed. She has had her fair share of issues with her abandoning father, which has been fixed over the years.

Jessica, who was not influenced by her father due to his lack of presence in her life, did not follow in his footsteps. She does have siblings who have opted to take the route that her father did professionally.

During a 2011 documentary, Jessica revealed that she had no memory of Ozzy being much of a present father during her childhood.

Jessica was born at precisely 11:22 p.m. on January 20, 1972. Constellations lighted up the sky on the night she was born, and her father, who had been goggling at the marvelous nature of the night sky, decidedly gave her the middle name Starshine. After six months, Jessica's parents traveled back to the USA from England to record an album titled "Snowblind."

Jessica's parents met at a nightclub and Thelma's then-workplace known as The Rum Runner in 1971. They hit the ground running as a couple and married in July of the same year. When they became acquainted, Thelma was already a mother of a five-year-old boy named Elliot Kingsley from a former romance.

Jessica's parents welcomed her in 1972, and her only fully biological sibling, Louis Osbourne, was born three years later in 1975. However, the excitement of a growing family was hindered by the tragic death of Ozzy's father. His health had deteriorated to the point that the hospital he was admitted to moved him away from other patients and into a "broom cupboard."

Jessica's grandfather died six years after her birth in the same hospital she was born in. The coincidence is so profound that his death matched the exact time and date of Jessica's birth. Despite the other bowl and intestinal illnesses that he suffered from, the cause of his death was carcinoma of the esophagus.

Jessica Osbourne Was a Child When Her Family Broke Up

Ozzy was a volatile individual at the peak of his career. He admitted to being an inadequate father to his children and husband to his wife, Thelma. The singer said his behavior was fueled by an ego he could not control. He regrets marrying Thelma in the first place and believes that she is a good person who deserves better.

After 11 years of marriage, Jessica's parents threw in the towel. At the time, Jessica was roughly ten years old and void of an affectionate father figure. Her father married Sharon Osbourne on July 4 of the same year. Sharon and Ozzy are parents of three children, Aimee Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, and Jack Osbourne.

Sharon accompanied Jessica's father when he traveled to visit them in England, and seeing his children awoken feelings of regret. After spending time with his children from Thelma, he told Sharon that he never wanted to move to the US and missed his children.

Although they already had children, Ozzy's life was focused on his career, coupled with alcohol and substance abuse. His choices led to the decline of his family life and fatherhood. Admittedly, the singer doesn't recall when his kids were born.

"I don't remember being put to bed or having a bath by dad," Jessica said. "I wouldn't say he was there for us, no, never on sports day, school trip, parents' evening. He wasn't like that, no."

Jessica also has four half-siblings. Not much is known about Elliott, although he reportedly became an actor. Meanwhile, Jessica's other half-siblings came from Ozzy's marriage to Sharon Osbourne.

Because Ozzy wasn't much of a father to his daughter, Jessica never had a relationship with him. Years later, the singer wrote in his autobiography that he began seeing his children again. He revealed that he spends more time with them now than when he was a drunk dad.

Jessica and her brother Louis both have their mother's wit, as revealed by her father. Over the years, Louis acquired a Law degree, and Jessica worked as a surveyor. She also became a parent in 2002 when she welcomed her daughter, Isabelle Hobbs, making Ozzy a grandfather for the first time.

Jessica married a fellow surveyor named Ben Hobbs and lived with him in Southwest London. At the time of Isabelle's birth, Jessica was not on good terms with her father and said, "He's quite good at getting as much publicity for himself as he can, he doesn't need me to help him."

Jessica then welcomed two more children, a daughter named Kitty Hobbs and a son named Harry Hobbs, whose lives are pretty private. Jessica's brother Louis is also a parent and has welcomed a boy named Elijah Osbourne and a girl name Maia Osbourne, making the Black Sabbath musician and Thelma grandparents of five.
