John Travolta delivers family message during first Christmas without Kelly Preston

Such a beautiful family.

John Travolta has shared a Christmas message with his children to his army of fans.

This year’s Christmas marks the first one John, 66, has spent since the passing of his wife, Kelly Preston.

Kelly died this July aged 57, after a secret two-year battle with breast cancer.

Taking to Instagram, John shared a video message with his two children, daughter Ella, 20, and son Benjamin, 10.

John and Kelly’s eldest child, son Jett, passed away in 2009 aged 16, after suffering a seizure.

Posting in view of 3.3 million followers, John, Ella and Benjamin all wished viewers a Merry Christmas.

“My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Centre, all the medical centres 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.
