Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi breaks down on live TV while discussing her mother’s legacy ahead of visiting Australia for charity walk

Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi broke down in tears during Tuesday’s edition of Sunrise as she discussed her late mother’s legacy.

The US-based singer and actress, 37, appeared on the Australian Breakfast Show to discuss her upcoming performance at Olivia’s Walk for Wellness in Melbourne on Sunday, October 8.

“I’m sorry, it’s still raw for me. People I don’t even know have helped me and I’ve been able to connect with people who have had cancer,” she began.

“It is an honor to continue the Walk for Wellness. There is no greater purpose in life than to give to others and when I was going through my mental illness, I focused on connecting with people going through similar pain.”

Chloe said that even as Olivia struggled with her own breast cancer, she still took the time to help other cancer patients and let them know they are not alone.

“Even when she was in the hardest part of the battle, she still made it about others. The outpouring of people’s love is tangible. It’s still raw for me.’

The 10th annual Olivia Walk for Wellness takes place in Melbourne’s scenic Alexandra Gardens, with participants walking five kilometers to raise money for cancer research.

It comes after Chloe revealed a sad health update on social media in August, a year after her mother’s death.

The Los Angeles native said she has suffered from memory loss since losing her mother last year, following the Grease star’s two-decade battle with breast cancer.

‘I wasn’t doing well. I have had extreme memory loss and difficulty getting out of bed. I neglected myself,” she explained in an Instagram video.

‘One of my mother’s biggest messages was: take care of yourself. So I’m going to disappear for about three weeks because I’m developing health problems in my body and mind.”

“I’m sorry, it’s still raw for me. People I don’t even know have lifted me up and I’ve been able to connect with people who have had cancer,” Chloe began.

Chloe is Olivia’s only child, born in 1986 from her first marriage to actor Matt Lattanzi.

Olivia passed away at the age of 73 at her home in Santa Ynez, California on August 8 last year, after a two-decade battle with breasts cancer.

She fought several brave battles against cancer and after being first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, which was successfully treated and went into remission, but later returned in both 2013 and 2017.

Olivia’s death resulted in an outpouring of public grief and heartfelt tributes from those closest to her, including Grease co-star John Travolta and Victorian Prime Minister Dan Andrews, who offered a state funeral in her honour.

Chloe added that even as her mother struggled with her own breast cancer, she still took the time to help other cancer patients and let them know they are not alone.
