Olivia Newton-John remembered as ‘force of nature’ at Melbourne ceremony

Olivia Newton-John’s home city of Melbourne, Australia, celebrated her life at a state memorial on Sunday.

Among the poignant tributes to the “Grease” star were words from her daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, who said her heart is still “broken in two” in the wake of her mother’s death in August at age 73 of breast cancer.

“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,” said Lattanzi, fighting back tears, according to BBC News. “She was my safe space, my guide, my biggest fan and the earth beneath my feet.”
