Kelly Preston: I'm not ready to talk about Jett's death

Actress still grieving for son

Kelly Preston and John Travolta are also parents to daughter Ella

John Travolta's wife Kelly Preston has pulled out of addressing a conference about the death of their 16-year-old son Jett because she's still in mourning.

The teenager - who had Kawasaki Syndrome - died on 2 January after having a seizure at the family’s holiday home in the Bahamas.

Kelly, 46, was due to speak about her loss on the Grief & Resilience panel at the California Governor’s Conference For Women in October.

‘It is with my sincere apologies that I must pull out from speaking at the conference,’ reads a statement to People.

‘I am sorry, but I truly believed that I could do it. Otherwise I never would have said that I could. But I am still deeply in the process of healing, and it's just too soon.’

The conference runs from 26-27 October in Long Beach.
