Olivia Newton-John's daughter shares 'precious memories' of final days with her mum

Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe Lattanzi has shared the "precious memories" she made with her mum during her final days and says she will "treasure that time for the rest of my life".

Grease star Newton-John passed away from breast cancer in August 2022 aged 73 and Lattanzi, 37, halted her own career as a singer and actor to care for her mum at the end of her life.

She appeared on Loose Women on Monday, which would have been her mum's 75th birthday, where she opened up on how important that time had been for her.

Lattanzi said: "We were together every minute of every day and I would sleep with her at night. I have many precious memories and I’ve never seen anybody that has as much strength as my mum or could endure what she did, with such grace, and humour and dignity.

"I will treasure that time for the rest of my life."

Newton-John had been diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time, having previously battled the disease in 1992 and 2013, but her cancer progressed to stage four and spread to her bones.

Lattanzi said that her mum's many fans had been a comfort to her: "The fans were really a life raft for me, having millions of people pour out energy and love towards me and my family, and celebrating my mum, really lifted me up in dark times.

"I want to thank everyone for your support. It really helped me and I know my mum feels it."

Lattanzi has followed in her mum's footsteps to become a singer, but paused recording her album when the star was told her illness was terminal.

She said: "I began my album after I did Dancing with the Stars and then I got five songs finished but I stopped half way because my mother needed me, the most important person in the world, so I have five songs done and I’ll be hopping back in to get a few more done so I have a lot of art to release in January or February."

Lattanzi added that carrying on her mum's legacy made things easier, saying: "It’s not about me, it’s about every family member who has a loved one going through cancer. Every being who is a cancer thriver, who is currently going through the journey.

"If I make it not about me, it’s a lot easier to deal with and if I think about my mum’s journey, it makes it a lot easier to handle the nerves and being in front of people."
