Chloe Lattanzi has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late mother Olivia Newton-John.

Best known for her role as Sandy in 1978 film Grease, the British-born singer and actor died 'peacefully' at her ranch in Southern California in August 2022 at the age of 73.

Friends, family and fans recently got together at Hamer Hall in Melbourne, to pay their respects.

The four-time grammy winner lost her battle with cancer last year despite surviving the disease in 1992 and again in 2013.

Daughter Lattanzi, 37, who said her heart is 'broken in two' took to the stage to speak about her mother.

"I feel like a little girl lost without her mother," she said.

"She was my safe space, my guide, my biggest fan and the earth beneath my feet.

"I know she's here standing beside me and within me.

"I can hear her voice: 'You are 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'."

Daughter Lattanzi said her heart is 'broken in two'.

She added: "We loved watching our trashy TV shows together and immediately changed the channel when John walked in the room.

"We pretended we were watching educational shows about plant medicine."

The likes of Hugh Jackman, Pink, Mariah Carey, Tina Arena, Dolly Parton, Cliff Richard, Elton John and RuPaul, all sent joyful tributes which were shown on screen.

Friends, family and fans recently got together at Hamer Hall in Melbourne, to pay their respects.

Parton, 77, said: "The world lost one of its greatest talents when Olivia left us.

"I know it's especially painful for all the folks there in Australia since she is one of your own. As a country you should be very proud and know that the whole world mourns with you."

"Now, I had the honour of singing with her several times. I consider her a great friend as well as a fellow entertainer. Olivia, to quote one of your songs, I honestly love you. And thank you for shining your light on us."

Mariah Carey, 53, also praised the late singer for her humanitarian work at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre.

"I just want to give thanks for a moment here. She really affected my life. As a little girl I loved her so much growing up. Grease was probably the first movie I ever saw," Carey said.

"And then I got to meet her later and we performed together. I looked up to her so much and I loved her songs.

"When I got to meet her she was just as nice as she was a star, and talented, and I know she went through so much.

"Her humanitarian work - I just want to salute that and say that not everybody does that. We love you, we love you Olivia Newton-John."
