Grieving parents John Travolta, 54, and Kelly Preston, 46, have issued a public statement regarding the tragic death of their son, Jett, 16.
“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
Jett was discovered in a bathroom at the vacation home of the family. He had a seizure and hit his head on a bathtub.
More details, or should I say, speculation, has surfaced, but until anything is made official, out of the respect for the family, I won’t be commenting.
My thoughts are with the family.

The death of a child is so heartbreaking no matter the circumstances. It seems even more tragic when it is unexpected. Unfortunately the Travolta and Preston family will now experience a generation of grief where once there was joy.

This is so heartbreaking. No one should lose a child. I’ve always loved John Travolta, and my heart goes out to him and his family.
Oh, man, the poor kid! And poor family, no one should bury their children!
My heart goes out to the Travolta family on the loss of their son…a tragedy of magnetic proportions…I lost my nephew four years ago suddenly and I still [and will forever] grieve…May God keep you in His Hands…
Dear John, Kelly and Ella,
My heart is with you during this difficult time. May God’s love, light and peace be with you always.

I am so sorry, for the entire Travolta family! I’m also very concern, for they’re mental health, knowing that John Travolta will never be the same again, after years of bringing so much joy to people, now I have to hope for the best
