John Travolta has paid tribute to his former co-star and longtime friend Kirstie Alley following her death from cancer at age 71.
"Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I've ever had," Mr Travolta said on Instagram on Monday night. "I love you Kirstie. I know we will see each other again."
Ms Alley, an actress who got her big break as Rebecca Howe in the TV show Cheers, starred with Mr Travolta in the Look Who's Talking movies, and both were members of the Church of Scientology.
