John Travolta made contact with his fans for the first time today since the death of his 16-year-old son Jett. He and his wife Kelly Preston recently released a statement through his website Travolta.com:
“We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences. Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us a hope for a brighter future,
with love, John, Kelly, and Ella.”
Early Friday morning Travolta’s son passed away during a trip to the Bahamas. It’s believed Jett died from hitting his head on the bathtub following a seizure. However, an autopsy scheduled for Monday will determine the final cause of death.
The Travolta family is in our prayers.
