That’s too bad.
It’s awful when a parent loses a child.
RIP
Let us hope this is mistaken.
Sorry to learn this. As someone who has lost a child, there is no greater pain. Sympathies to the family.
L
that’s horrible. so sorry for the family. I can’t imagine a great tragedy for a parent.
Prayers for his eternal rest, and for the comfort and consolation of his friends and family.
Update from TMZ:
There have been reports that Jett was autistic, though Travolta has denied it, saying he suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease.
UPDATE: 4:00 PM ET — Travolta’s attorney Michael Ossi says Jett suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful and he died on scene.
Prayers for the family — how awful
RIP
Terrible way to start the new year.

and it was pulled as I hit Preview.
Sorry to hear about the young Travolta. I’ve always liked
Barbarino, sad to hear this about this young man...8^(
How incredibly sad. My deepest sympathies to the Travoltas.
From the time of the birth of my first child, I could think of nothing worse than living long that any one of them. MY heartfelt sympathies to the Travolta family.
How awful for all of them! My sincere condolences...
Prayers and sympathies for the Travoltas....
No parent should ever suffer the loss of a child. Tragic.
Sorry to hear it. It’s so hard to lose a child and this close to the holidays makes it even worse as that wil come to mind every New Years.
Met Travolta in Cabo several years ago. I was never a fan but the ex-wife was. He sat by the pool and chatted with us both for about 45 minutes as he waited for his massage. I came away terribly impressed by him. He was friendly and casual as if we had been friends for years. Later that night ,recognizing us in the restaurant, he brought over his sister to say hello and to thank my wife for giving him my only Arturo Fuente Opus X. Quite a charming man.
My prayers go out to him, his wife and his family.
