The heartbroken brother of Kelly Preston has spoken about the actress’s death, saying she was surrounded by her loved ones when she passed away.
51-year-old Chris Palzis told Daily Mail that the family had been left ‘gutted’ by her cancer death.
“We’re still really grieving so I don’t have anything eloquent to say right now,” he said. “We’re just all very gutted over this, if I had to say something that would pretty much summarize it.”
Chris continued: “She was a light and she was a warrior and she’ll always be remembered for how she brought out the best in people.
“It’s heartbreaking. We just got back from her bedside in Florida. We were all together in Florida.”
The siblings were photographed together at events.
Spanky Taylor, 67, also said she was ‘heartbroken’ for John Travolta. “Kelly was a very kind woman, she was lovely. She was engaged to Charlie Sheen at that time, I don’t think that she had met John yet,” she said.
“’I had been doing a charity event for a pediatric AIDS project. We put together an evening with Elton John and Charlie Sheen was one of the hosts of the event.
“Kelly was just lovely. She was extraordinarily beautiful and she seemed as lovely on the inside as she was on the outside.”
Taylor continued: “She was bright and bubbly and she was very kind. It’s heartbreaking, especially because John is so good.
“He’s such a good person and I hate seeing anyone going through that kind of suffering, let alone someone who I care about.”
A spokesperson for the family said to People that the actress had decided to ‘keep her fight private’ months before her death.
“She was a bright, beautiful, and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time,” the spokesperson said.
