John Travolta and Kelly Preston Pay Tribute to Son Jett on What Would’ve Been His 27th Birthday

John Travolta is honoring his late son Jett, who unexpectedly died at age 16.

On Saturday, which would’ve been Jett’s 27th birthday, the actor shared a photo of a portrait that was gifted to him by a fan.

“A painting a fan made of my son Jett! Happy birthday my son I love you!” Travolta, 65, captioned his Instagram post.

In January 2009, Jett died while on vacation with his family in the Bahamas. He had suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. The teen had hit his head in a bathtub and was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital.
