Model/actress Kelly Preston has died at the age of 57 after a private 2-year battle with breast cancer.

Preston appeared in more than sixty television and film productions, most notably Mischief (1985), Twins (1988), and Jerry Maguire (1996). She will be best known to CBM fans for playing Jetstream in 2005 superhero comedy, Sky High. She also appeared alongside husband John Travolta in Battlefield Earth.

A family representative confirmed the sad news to People, revealing that Preston passed away on the morning of July 12th. Travolta then shared the following Instagram post, paying tribute to his late wife.

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while. But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal. All my love, JT

A post shared by John Travolta (@johntravolta) on

Preston is survived by her husband and their children, 20-year-old Ella and 9-year-old Benjamin. Their son Jett tragically died in 2009 at the age of 16 following a seizure.

Our thoughts go out to Kelly's friends and family during this difficult time.

Hopefully when she's at the landing station on Venus she's programmed with some of the lesser painful lies before being dumped back on Earth.

Hail Xenu.

She always seemed to have such a kindness about her smile and a class to her. That family has been through enough after losing a 16 year old. Why don’t we all show a bit of kindness and class as well by restraining crude jokes about scientology and their movies. Prove we deserve to be the ones still here.

@connorblaze - Well, so far at least, all the posted comments have been respectful in honoring her.

“ If you ever want me to be with another woman for you, I'd do it. It's not something I'm interested in. Once, yeah, it seemed normal, but it was just a phase, a college thing, like torn Levi's or law school for you. Would you like something from the kitchen? I'm gonna get some fruit.”

Perfect delivery!

Man Travolta is one unfortunate guy, losing his son only 10 years ago, now his wife. My heart goes out to him and his family.

Christine, Mischief, Twins, Jerry Maguire, Sky High, even The Cat in the Hat, and Battlefield Earth. She's been a steady presence without me realizing it. Man this is sad. RIP

When I first saw her in the movie "Twins", that's when I fell in love with her.

May she RIP.

Holy shit 😳

I was totally in love with her as a kid after watching Twins. Many times.

What a horribly tragic few years for her and her family, I can’t even begin to imagine their pain. Sincerest condolences. 😔

RIP
