It is the same, they are both the same name and the same person just different spellings.
Osama and Usama are the same name. In Arabic, the same letter (waw) can be pronounced somewhat closer to an "O" or closer to a "U" in English depending on accent. The transcription in English marks this difference, but it is the same name. (This is the same as the differences between Mohammed and Muhammad).
