Tributes have been pouring in for the well-loved actress Kelly Preston, who passed away on 12th July aged 57. The gorgeous actress had “fought a courageous fight” against breast cancer for two years, her husband John Travolta said. Kelly is best known for her roles in film such as Jerry Maguire, The Cat in the Hat, The Last Song and the iconic noughties flick What a Girl Wants.
John Travolta left a heart-breaking tribute to his late wife on his Instagram account thanking the health workers who have cared for her, and expressing he will be taking some time off to support and care for their children, Ella Bleu and Benjamin. John and Kelly tragically lost their son Jett at the age of 16 in 2009.
Celebrities across the world have taken time to send their condolences and support to Kelly’s family in an outpouring of tributes.

Kelly Preston was extraordinary. I was lucky enough to star with her and direct her, and her talent was off the charts. She had such a big heart, she was a wonderful wife and mother, and my thoughts are with John and the whole family.
