Ozzy Osbourne’s<\/a> funeral took place on Thursday, with his friends and family gathering to commemorate the rock star, however two of his children were noticeably missing.<\/p>\n

Ozzy had three children, Elliot and Jessica, with his first wife, Thelma Riley, who he was married to from 1982 to 1971.<\/p>\n

Jessica was born in 1979, whilst Elliot was actually adopted by Ozzy as Thelma had him with a partner from a previous relationship. The third child, Louis, was also shared by the pair but he was the only one of the three to attend the funeral.<\/p>\n

Jessica and Elliot have been vocal about their strained relationship with Ozzy Osbourne over the years. Even Ozzy has admitted that he wasn’t a present father to them, as he wrote in his 2010 biography, I Am Ozzy.<\/p>\n

He admitted in the book that his marriage to Thelma, was a “terrible mistake” and later even went as far to confess that he couldn’t remember when Jessica or Louis’ birthdays were.<\/p>\n

During a 2011 documentary about Ozzy’s life, Jessica was interviewed about her relationship with her father, with her being open about how hard it was.<\/p>\n

She explained: “My recollection from my childhood with dad is that he\u2019d be away for very long periods of time, and there\u2019d always be a period of adjustment when he came home, and then it\u2019d get to normality and then he\u2019d go again. So, it was a very erratic childhood with dad.”<\/p>\n

Jessica and Elliot were also not included in the family statement for Ozzy Osbourne after his passing, however Louis was.<\/p>\n

The statement read: “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.<\/p>\n

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family\u2019s privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”<\/p>\n
