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.

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t 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. All my love, JT
