The Osbournes and early fame

She appeared alongside Ozzy, Sharon and Jack Osbourne, while Aimee Osbourne did not take part in the programme. The series won the 2002 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program.
The programme established Osbourne as a television personality with a distinctive style and outspoken screen presence. Her fashion profile grew alongside the show's success, and in 2004 she launched the rock-inspired clothing line Stiletto Killers with Ali Barone. The line closed in 2006.

Osbourne released her debut studio album, Shut Up, in 2002. Its lead single was a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach," and the album reached number one on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart and number 31 in the United Kingdom. Her second album, Sleeping in the Nothing, followed in 2005.
In 2003, she recorded "Changes," a duet with her father based on the Black Sabbath song. The single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and led to a reissue of Shut Up under the title Changes. Osbourne later published the memoir Fierce in 2009.
