Olivia Newton-John Sends Her Love to Grieving John Travolta

Olivia Newton-John says she has reached out to her former Grease costar John Travolta as he mourns the loss of his son, Jett, 16.

"I extend my love to them, and I want to leave them in peace at this time," she told Usmagazine.com over the weekend at the 2009 Australia Week gala in Hollywood. "I think that John and Kelly [Preston, his wife] put out a most beautiful statement; I couldn't do any better than to send them my love."

Jett died of a seizure disorder Jan. 2 while vacationing with his family in the Grand Bahamas.

Last week, the Travolta family wrote a letter in their local paper, thanking members of their Ocala, Fla., hometown for standing by them as they deal with an "impossibly painful situation."

They wrote: "In parting, we want all of you to cherish your loved ones and your friends like there was no tomorrow, to live your lives to the fullest by continuing to help one another, and to be true to yourselves."
