Her husband, John Easterling, told the world the heartbreaking news while also celebrating everything she did in her life.

"Dame Olivia Newton-John (73) passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends," he said.

"We ask that everyone please respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time. 

"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer.

Newton-John was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 when she was just 43 years old, and announced in 2017 that it had returned while also revealing she had privately dealt another diagnosis of the disease in 2013.

Throughout her diagnosis, she underwent numerous treatments, including a mastectomy, chemotherapy and breast reconstruction.

Since her first diagnosis, the Grease star had championed the cause of raising awareness for breast cancer, and in 2008 built the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Newton-John used her profile to raise awareness for plant-based medicine, and she supported several charities and causes during her life.
