Stars are mourning beloved “Grease” actor Olivia Newton-John following news of her death. On Aug. 8, Newton-John’s family confirmed via Facebook that she died that morning at her home in Southern California from her battle with breast cancer. She was 73 years old.

Newton-John found stardom with the 1978 musical, which she starred in alongside John Travolta, as well as with music thanks to her 1981 smash “Physical” — which Billboard previously listed as the No. 1 single of the decade.

In the wake of Newton-John’s death, celebrities used social media to offer their condolences and share fond memories of her, including Travolta who posted a loving tribute to his “Grease” costar on Instagram. “My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better,” he wrote. “Your impact was incredible.

We will see you down the road and we will all be together again.” George Takei tweeted: “We have lost a great, iconic artist in Olivia Newton John, gone too soon from us at age 73.”
