Olivia Newton-John‘s husband, John Easterling, released a statement on Monday, August 8, confirming her death – saying she “passed away peacefully at her Southern California ranch this morning, surrounded by family and friends.”
“We ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time,” he added.
While no cause of death has been disclosed, a source told TMZ “that after a 30-year journey with cancer, she lost her battle with breast cancer.”
Like so many, Olivia has always been my hero. Discovering her magnetic energy as an artist and actress came first but it was her heart that truly captured mine. Forever an icon and legend! pic.twitter.com/8RDc0hzIgW

“Grease” is my #1 movie of all time and made me a lifelong Olivia Newton John fan. Me and my sister watched Xanadu more times than I could count. Sending so much love and prayers to a real gift of a woman and talent. #RIPOliviaNewtonJohn

Really sad to hear about the passing of Olivia Newton-John. My first real crush as a kid. I loved Grease & her music & I coincidentally also bought & lived in for a while the wonderful home she built in Malibu. May she Rest In Peace.
