Kelly Preston Dead - Actress Dies at 57 After Two-Year Battle with Breast Cancer
Kelly Preston has sadly passed away.
The actress passed away on Sunday (July 12) at 57-years-old after a two-year battle with breast cancer, which she kept private, a family representative shared with People.
“On the morning of July 12, 2020, Kelly Preston, adored wife and mother, passed away following a two-year battle with breast cancer,” the rep shared in a statement. “Choosing to keep her fight private, she had been undergoing medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends.”
Kelly married husband John Travolta back in 1991. She is survived by their daughter Ella, 20, and Benjamin, 9. The couple’s son Jett died at 16-years-old back in 2009. (See the tribute she wrote last year on the 10-year anniversary of his passing)
“She was a bright, beautiful and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched,” the statement continued. “Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time.”
Over the years, Kelly starred in movies including The Last Song, The Cat in the Hat, Jerry Maguire, and Sky High.
