Actress Kelly Preston has died after a secret two-year battle with breast cancer.
Newton-John, who has fought her own battles with cancer, starred with Prestons husband John Travolta in Hollywoods 1978 musical Grease, and the two remained close friends over the decades.
Kelly was a radiant, warm and gentle spirit – a loving, devoted wife, mother and sweet friend, Olivia Newton-John wrote on Twitter on Monday.
My heart breaks for John, Ella and Ben.
No words can express my sorrow for her family.
Kellys light shines on in her beautiful children.
Preston and Travolta had three children, including Ella, 20, and nine-year-old son Benjamin.

Prestons film career included roles in Twins, Jerry Maguire, For Love of the Game and her final role, opposite her husband, in 2018s Gotti.
Kellys love and life will always be remembered, Travolta wrote on Instagram.
I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you dont hear from us for a while.
But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal.
