News in video: Kelly Preston – John Travolta's wife died at the age of 57

Hollywood star Kelly Preston has passed away – her husband John Travolta officially announced this in a moving post on Instagram.

John Travolta grieves for his wife: Kelly Preston died at the age of 57, as the actor announced on Instagram. The couple had been married in a second marriage since 1991 and had three children together.

Much more than just "Ms. Travolta"

Although Preston has appeared mostly on the red carpet with her husband in recent years, she was also a big star before her marriage and had great success in films like "Twins" and "Jerry Maguire" alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise. She did not want to make her breast cancer illness public before her death. On Instagram, Travolta also expressly thanks the doctors and nurses who have accompanied Preston in her last hours – and explains that he will withdraw a little at first. "I will take some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother," Travolta writes on Instagram. "Forgive me in advance if you haven't heard from us in a while."
