Family Members Speak About Jett Travolta's Death

John Travolta Jett and John together in Paris just a few weeks ago

Kelly Preston's mother Linda Carlson and her half-brother Chris Palzis have opened about 16-year-old Jett Travolta's tragic passing. Linda tells OK! Magazine, "He was one of the most special, loving boys. I thank God I had time to spend with him before Christmas." Chris added, "We're all devastated. It's definitely a bad time. That's all I have to say."

Also, here's an update on Jett's autopsy, which will be conducted on Monday. The Grand Bahamas health minister confirmed to TMZ that two pathologists will complete the autopsy to ensure "a proper evaluation has been made." A U.S. certified clinical and forensic pathologist from Nassau will fly into Grand Bahama on Monday to help perform the autopsy, and if everything goes as planned, we can expect results as early as next week.



Think there will be any surprises in the weeks to come?

Not to be mean...but that boy had autism, he seems weird on the video, I am sure it was a hassle taking care of him his whole life, so I think its kind of a good thing that he died. Now John can finally relax and take care of his normal gorgeous girl Ella. His son Jeff just seemed strange and mentally off and will NEVER compare to the hotness that was John Travolta in the 70's

Kelly Preston is a liar. She concocted that half-baked story because she felt guilty for presenting a damaged son to her Scientologist husband. Jett has been a source of pain to the Travoltas from day one. He got too big to handle. Interesting that all this happened in the Bahamas and not the U.S.

THE KID WAS A RETARD! JUST ONE LESS PROBLEM AND EXPENSE FOR JOHN AND KELLY TO DEAL WITH!

You people are all heartless!!! No one is ever better off after losing a child...Let's hope none of you have imperfect children. It is really nobody's business if anything was wrong with Jett!

This is heartbreaking. John obviously loved and protected his son for many years from the glares of the papps and society. May God give his family rest, and peace from all the brutality, that he had protected his son from all those years. Rest In Peace Jett, and peace to the family.



Posted by: JustTheFacts

Protecting him from the pappa and society? Ya rite! John and Kelly were ashamed and embarrased of the RETARD! They never wanted to be seen with him, bad for the box office receipts and image! After 16 years, you can probably count on 1 hand how many times they were seen togather!

Dear Kelly and John, Deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your son. I, too, have lost my son and I know the deep sadness you are feeling. You are in my prayers. God bless you and your daughter and family. I wish the pain could go away for all of us, that we could all wake up from this horrible nightmare that we live. Jett was a beautiful boy and you gave him a beautiful life. I know that we gave our beautiful boy the very best we could, we miss him everyday, we'll miss him for the rest of our lives. I wish for you and all of us who have lost our children peace. I can't wait to see my beautiful boy again. With love,respect and heartfelt sadness. Kathy.

You people are disgusting and should all remember Karma is a bitch....what kind of person you are comes back to bite you in the ass tenfold. I'm sure the majority are shallow teenagers and someday maybe you'll understand the love for a child, your child and hopefully none of you will have to go through such pain. You all need to get a life!!

well they say he had a history of sizuiers so why wasnt he on meds to control that but it doesnt matter fact is he is gone forever and well be greatly missed by his family.
John is gay but he is a nice guy.

Dear Travolta family words cannot express the pain you must be in and my heart goes out to you. To the narrow minded unhuman people who put a value on the life of their beautiful boy my heart aches for you more. You all need to be put together someplace so you can live your perfect life in your perfect world. Oh yes there is a place already for people like you it's caleed HELL!!Have a wonderful life together!

I can't believe that there are such vile people out there. To say such despicable things about a child is totally heartless and cruel. To call another person, never mind a child, retarded is sick. The only retarded person I know of is the narrow minded idiots that can say such mean spiteful things to parents that have lost their child. My deepest sympathies to the Travolta family.

Wow! I amazed by the wide range of responses - but even more by the heartless ignorance. I can only assume Jett is in a more loving and accepting world than the one he has left - My thoughts and prayers go to any and everyone who has ever lost a child!

It is very sad that Jett is gone.But i do have to say this whole thing seems a little fishy to me.first he had "issues" be it mental or from his siezures he should have been watched closely regardless. for them to not even to check on their son and to have two nannys there also not checking on him and then finding him the next day???That tells me right there they didnt really care about thier son they didnt even say goodnight to him on new years.and the fact that it happened in the bahamas kind of freaky its bringing back memories of daniel smith.everyone knows bahamian law sucks.

The mean things posted on this site about a child turn my stomach. The poor family. In regard to their scientology beliefs and maybe he took no medication, you can have a breakthrough seizure even if you are on medication. So, that point is moot. Whatever illness this boy had was none of the public's business. Shame on you heartless souls.



Posted by: Anonymous

I can not believe some of the heartless comments I have read here. It should not be anyones business if the Travoltas son had any medical problems. They have lost their son, what is wrong with you people??? As a parent my heart breaks for them, their lives will never be the same...



Posted by: Lekili

Some of the heartless posts on this site amaze me. What decent human thinks someone would be better off with the child dead?
Only a person with ice running thru their veins would say something so cruel and hurtful. Yes, it was obvious from seeing photos of Jett that something was wrong with him but that does not mean he shouldn't be here. You can tell the love his parents had for him and the lengths they went to to protest him from cruel people.
My heart breaks for this family. Be strong for one another and for Ella and know that there are people out there that care about what's happened to to dear, sweet boy.



Posted by: Anonymous

That poor boy looks like he was in his own innocent world; may he rest in peace. John could have refused to share
that video; but did he ? I saw real love there and I pray they will all be comforted. For the heartless people; you better check your own heart; hell might be your destiny. John & his family are all alive; like us. There's eternal hope for everyone; In Jesus.
Peace to you John & family !

In the Scientology CULT, its all mind over matter, so they do not believe in mental conditions such as autism. My question is how do they explain the obvious mental problems Jett suffered from by calling it Kawasaki syndrome when that is a disease that effects the HEART not the mind? Hopefully John, Kelly and the rest will realize that their "religion" is a crock and is killing people! I am sorry for the loss of Jett, but had they acknowledged his real condition and had him treated then he may still be alive today. If he had seizures, do they administer medicine for that or do they just detox them and feed them alien juice???



Posted by: Anonymous

No matter what religious belief Kelly and John have, they love their children and have a right to believe as they wish I obviously do not know the Travolta's but I have no doubt about their love for Jett. No one should ever have to go through this. We are all here for you, all of your fans over the years. God bless you and know that our tears are with you

You can tell on the video that John and Kelly (and even Ella) were nervous about being on video. As soon as John spots the cameras he swallows hard and lets go of his son. Sad.

SCIENTOLOGY= NO REAL Religion,NO Medication is acceptable, NO treatment etc...................... John & Kelly let this "FALSE & FAKE" mockery of Faith dictate a TRAGIC OUTCOME.

OOPPSSS..........it is Medication is UNACCEPTABLE.

On the video; at no time was the child left alone. Those parents do not look ashamed of their son to me; that is what 9:58 p.m. is trying to imply and that is sad. Many prayers to you John & Kelly & Ella & close family & other.



Posted by: Anonymous

I think that what the people here were doing when they called the child a retard was making the point that his parents wouldn't admit he had some mental problem. Not sure how effective that was, but I got it. It is their business, but if Jett had untreated Kawasaki Syndrome or they were in denial about autism ... due to their religion ... that's just a shame and they did a real injustice to themselves and their kid.



Posted by: rose

Some of you people are unbeliveble losing a child no matter what conditions they have would be horrific how can you say that john and kelly are better off without him you are all heartless and if any of you that thinks that and especially have kids should be ashamed of yourselves My deepest condolences to the travolta family our thoughts are with you on this sad loss of your son.



Posted by: Anonymous

You people are animals.

If John let Jett be in spotlight and talked about his disease. You guys would say he used his sick kid for PR to sell movies or whatever.

He has always kept a low profile of his son, and you guys still say he must be ashamed of Jett. You see, he can't win, can he? You guys always want to pick someone apart and say something negative.

John kelly and family. Australia will mourn your tragic loss with you.You were parents' first, actors second. The nastiness I have read in some comments appalls me. Life is sacred regardless of ones' religion or status. No amount of money will ever bring Jett back. I don't know anything about Scientology, I do know he is in the arms of Jesus. May that link in the chain that is now broken one day will become whole again. God bless you all. Jett RTP with the angels.John, Kelly and Ella Bleu you haven't lost Jett as he will always be in your hearts and thoughts. God bless and keep you in this time of grief and confusion.Love Sarah

the autopsy will say Jett died from a blow to the head sustained when he fell. there will be nothing else concerning Jetts condition. regular peoples autopsys are public record but this one won't be. one news story said it best, the Bahamas are a "haven" for the rich and famous. the government there will do nothing to piss off the Travoltas or any other celebrity. they have to feel safe that whatever happens in the Bahamas, STAYS in the Bahamas!too much celebrity money to lose!!!

I am so sorry. I remember when Jett was born. ( I have a 13 son) His parents named him Jett after John's flying. So tragic, so unexpected. Healing will take time. My condolences to his family.

To all those people who left those terrible comments, let's hope you NEVER have to experience what John and Kelly have experienced. But as they say "What goes around comes around" It is such a terrible tragedy. It doesn't matter whether Jett had physical or mental problems, he was their child and they loved him. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to them all.

Hateful people, that why this world is in such turmoil all the time!! For those who think he kept Jett in the closet, he keeps his daughter out of the lime light too. So I dont think he was ashamed of his son he is just trying to protecting BOTH of his kids from the hatefullness of the world!!

May God be with Jett's family during this difficult time. One day they will see each other in Heaven. Children are God's gift for parents to love and teach. Kelly and John have done a wonderful job with their son.



Posted by: Kelly

To Kelly and John:
I am so sorry that your son passed over. I know as a parent there is never a exceptable time for this to happen. We are instinctively the protectors of such precious gifts. Just remember he was on loan from God and when God calls him home, there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Your son will always be your baby- for here and for afterwards. He is not lost, for now he is found and in Gods arms. No more hurt or illness to afflict him. He can run freely with the angels and will often be around you. Just listen and feel.
From my family to yours- we pray for your hearts to be healed and for your eyes to see the real gift you have been given. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

With the utmost respect for all of your suffering, know that he would not want that. He made you laugh and smile. He made you feel love and happiness. That is how he would want you to feel right now. Celebrate the good son that he is...and always will be! Bless you and your family so that you can see beyond the pain.

Children with serious disabilites generally die young.. nature's way of weeding out abnormalites.. you may not like it but that's the way life is meant to..



Posted by: Still recovering....

Look, whether you like it or not, fom a Scientologists point of view, dropping a body that doesn't function properly is a GOOD thing. And that's how they say it. They don't say death or die. They use a different jargon that is less emotional. That's not to say the parents are happy. Of coarse they're stricken with grief! Scientologist or not, they are still human. But when all the emotion goes away they will actually think it was for the best for everyone. Scientologists call people with mental and physical problems DB's, degraded beings. I was a Scientologist for years and years and NEVER once saw Jett at an event at the Celebrity Center L.A. but they were always there with their daughter since she was a baby. He was PTS to them. Potential Trouble Source. Try to google it if you can. It basically means he was a messed up spiritual being and couldn't do anything but create problems for himself and others. And Scientologists believe that there is no such thing as a victim. So for Jett to be in that condition when he was born meant he deserved it and was unethical in his last lifetime or lifetimes. I've heard Scientologists on many occasions see a person who was mentally challenged or handicapped and say things like "what did they do in their last lifetime to deseve that?" I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY! This is why I left the church of Scientology. This is their thought process taught by L. Ron Hubbard. So to Scientologists, death is the best thing that could have happened to him because now he is free from that body and is able to go and get another body. I wouldn't be surprised if Kelly got pregnant again. It sounds cruel but it is true.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to the Travolta family. I am sorry there are such cruel people on this earth that say such horrible things. I lost a son at age 16 also. You will never forget him. Life will go on again but never be the same. One of the best things you can do is talk about the good memories you have with Jett. I am so sorry

What goes around comes around. Jett was a bastard conceived out of wedlock. I'm sure 54-yr-old John will impregnate Kelly again, and if it's a boy, they will name him Airplane.



Posted by: uk

Im gobsmacked to see such awful comments left..Suddenley people play God and decide what is right and wrong about how Jett has been brought up by his parents..yhats how wars start when people become so opinionated..Obviously your bored or drug takers..How sick and vain you must be to say hes better off dead..You watch too many sitcoms full of what would appear to be perfect looking people..in perfect lives..One day when you have to cope with the loss of a loved one you will deeply regret what you said..get a life and look in the mirror oh perfect judgemental sickos...Im sending sympathy at such sad and tragic news and I hope they find the strength to get through such a difficult time...



Posted by: anonymous

My heart goes out to the Travolta family. Losing a child is very hard and I am so sorry for the pain you are all going through. May God be with you all in the terrible time of need.



Posted by: Lisa

May God have mercy on the souls of you people....A child is dead, a family mourns. Perhaps John and Kelly were attempting to keep Jett out of the spotlight to protect him, not because they were embarassed....Obviously, there was something different about him but how is this anybody's business? Does this make his death somehow less sad? You people are disgusting and I don't know how you look in the mirror...Sick, disgusting and completely void of morals. To the loser who called him a retard....Only a completely uneducated, immoral human being would use that word.
Did you ever think that maybe they were out for New Years Eve???? Lots of parents do it you know...The child had two nannies...obviously they cared a great deal about their children. John did not look embarassed in the video...he looked annoyed and i would be too if people were following me with cameras and snapping pictures without my permission....
I can not believe that someone actually said that it is good that this little boy died...what a pack of losers!!!!

It is sad when a parent loses a child, always. But, Jett did not almost die when he was 2 from Kawasaki Disease. It is NOT caused by carpet cleaning! That studay was done by medical students in the 70's and by chance it came out more parents cleaned their carpet then did not before their child got sick.

This disease first started in Japan, HELLO! They don't have carpets! I didn't have carpets! Jett had a mild case by medical standards. He had no heart damage from it and he was lucky.

It DOES NOT cause seizures, or any other thing the Travolta's say it does. They have used this excuse for everything that has gone wrong in that poor child's life.

We had a fundraiser for a child with Kawasaki Disease and all we got from them was an autographed photo that no one bid on. They have not and never will support the Kawasaki foundation nor anything to do with autism. If they did they would have to admit something was wrong with their child which would go against their warped beliefs, either that or their perfect world they have tried to make which would have made it hard for others to believe if they had a child with disabilities.

My child has Kawasaki Disease and was left with severe heart damage. The FALSE information they have out there is doing more harm then good to parents whose child may come down with this disease.



Posted by: Lisa

That is understandable...and yes, it is very obvious that whatever their son was suffering from it was a lot more than just Kawasaki Disease....but it is still what it is...they have lost their child and instead of everybody speculating on what was "wrong" with him, people should feel sad that a child is dead and a family is in mourning.

you people are insane. its never better off when your child is dead no matter what problems they had. u got to be kidding me. who cares if he doesn't look like his dad when he was in 70's. seriously, what is this world coming to. We cannot even mourn for innocent child without mocking the family. Carma is a bitch, i hope you people will experience losing a child. I want to see how heartless you can be when its your child. Can't you people just leave this family alone and grieve without blaming them.



Posted by: Anonymous

The parents should be investigated for extreme child abuse. I doubt that he was on the proper medicine to PREVENT seizures!



Posted by: janice

To John and Kelly, my heart goes out to you at this tragic time. I too, am a parent of a mentally challenged child, and know the devotion , care and love that goes into raising them. They could never be considered a burden. I consider it a Blessing, because they are so full of love, and enjoyment that they give back to this world. My prayers are with you.



Posted by: Joan Miller

To John and Kelly. I feel so sad to think your son Jett is gone. I feel bad for you. Even now,3 or 4 months later, I cry when I think of you. I can almost feel your pain. I have lost quite a few people I love. It is not easy to get over it. The more time goes by, the less it will hurt.I have loved you John ever since Saturday Night Fever. I hope you and your family get better real soon In the mean time I know God is watching over you. And you will see Jett again. Take care A very loving fan.
