The late singer's daughter spoke at the state memorial held in Australia on Sunday.

Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe Lattanzi shared a sweet message honoring her late mom.

During Newton-John's state memorial service in Australia, Lattanzi opened up about how she has been coping with her mother's recent death and spoke highly about the singer and the love she carried in her heart.

"I stand here before you so desperately, wanting to feel strong and confident and speak eloquently, but the truth is I feel like a little girl lost without her mother," she said about the passing of her mom, who died in Aug. 2022 at 73 after battling breast cancer. "She was my safe space, my guide, my biggest fan, and the earth beneath my feet."

Lattanzi, 37, continued: "I know she's here, standing beside me and within me. I can hear her voice, 'You're safe, my darling. Don't be afraid. You're so much stronger than you think. Speak from your heart. That's all you have to do.' "

She shared some fond memories with her mother, stating, "She didn't tell dirty jokes, but she laughed the hardest at them." She added, "… We loved watching our trashy TV shows together and immediately changed the channel when John (Easterling) walked in the room. We pretended we were watching educational shows about plant medicine."

"My favorite thing to do was watch her watching the birds and the flowers, smelling her roses, and the joy it brought to her face was a thing of beauty. I loved making her tea and then making it five times again until I got it right," Lattanzi recalled.

"I loved our snuggles. I would crawl into bed with her late at night, even until I was 20 years old. I loved the way she smelled, nothing felt safer to me. I loved writing music and singing with her and how she would always notice if I was slightly off-key," Lattanzi said with a chuckle. "I love how she loved fully and completely."

The Grease star's service was full of love and plenty of speeches and video tributes from various celebrity friends, including Elton John, Hugh Jackman, Dolly Parton, Pink, and Mariah Carey.

The memorial service will be available to stream through March 5.
