The Preston Family On Jett Travolta: “He Was One Of The Most Special, Loving Boys”

As we previously reported, John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s 16-year-old son, Jett Travolta, has died while vacationing with his family in the Bahamas.

Kelly’s mother, Linda Carlson, briefly spoke to OK! about the loss of her beloved grandson,

“He was one of the most special, loving boys. I thank God I had time to spend with him before Christmas.” Linda also released the following statement to Us magazine: “I am devastated. He was the light of our lives.”

Kelly’s brother, Chris Palzis, also spoke about their loss: “We’re all devastated. It’s definitely a bad time. That’s all I have to say.”

Jett reportedly suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition that often leads to heart disease. However, reports have stated that Jett actually had autism, something John and Kelly have repeatedly denied.
