Aimee Osbourne made a rare appearance during the funeral procession for Ozzy Osbourne.

The Prince of Darkness' loved ones attended his funeral procession in the city of Birmingham, England on Wednesday, July 30, as fans gathered in his beloved hometown to say goodbye.

The musician, 41, stopped on the Black Sabbath bridge alongside mom Sharon Osbourne and sister Kelly Osbourne, who held her hand, as well as her brother Jack Osbourne and Ozzy's son Louis Osbourne.

Aimee, who sported a black veil and beret, as well as a black suit, tearfully said goodbye to her father with her family.

Upon Ozzy's death on July 22, Aimee, Kelly, 40, as well as their mother, Sharon, 72, and their brothers, Louis and Jack, 39, released a shared statement to PEOPLE.

“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," they said at the time. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."

Aimee, meanwhile, is the eldest of Ozzy's kids with Sharon, who were married for more than 40 years. In total, the rock legend was dad to six children: Jessica and Louis with ex Thelma Riley, as well as son Elliot, whom he adopted from a previous relationship. He and Sharon shared Aimee, Kelly and Jack.

While Jack and Kelly starred in MTV's The Osbournes from 2002 to 2005 alongside their parents, Aimee declined to be part of filming at the time. She later explained that she did not want to sacrifice her privacy by appearing on the reality series.

Since then, Aimee appeared in the MTV musical adaptation of Wuthering Heights. She's also the lead singer of the synth-pop band ARO. The band released its debut single, "Raining Gold," in 2015. The song is inspired by her life as the daughter of a larger-than-life rockstar.

Beyond the family, fans and friends of Ozzy's have also continued to share memories of the late Prince of Darkness on social media. Tributes have poured in from Elton John, Yungblud and Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates — with whom he performed during his farewell concert in Birmingham, England on July 5.

The gig, dubbed "Back to the Beginning," featured Ozzy reuniting on stage with guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward and bassist Geezer Butler in the rocker's hometown and the birthplace of their legendary rock band. Iommi told ITV News in an interview shared on Wednesday that the news of his bandmate's death was a "shock" and that he believed the frontman "really just held out to do that show."

Iommi, 77, added, "I really feel — me and Geezer were talking about it last night — that we think he held out to do it. And just after that, he’s done it and said goodbye to the fans. And that was the end of it, really."

As for Yungblud, the 27-year-old musician wrote on Instagram on Thursday that Ozzy had been his "North Star" for "as long as I can remember." He then revealed that "Changes," the 1972 Black Sabbath hit that he sang during Ozzy's final gig, would remain on his personal setlist for the foreseeable future.

"To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life,' wrote Yungblud.

He concluded: "You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy."
