Olivia Newton-John dies: Today host Karl Stefanovic pays tribute to Australia icon

An emotional Karl Stefanovic has paid tribute as he looked back on his time with Olivia Newton-John following the Australian icon’s death

The actress, 73, passed away peacefully at her home in Southern Californian ranch this morning, surrounded by family and friends.

She was survived by husband John Easterling and daughter Chloe Lattanzi.

As Australians wake up to the sad news, the Today show co-host reminisced spending time with the Grease star for a 60 Minutes interview in 2017, where she opened up about her long hard fought battle with breast cancer.

You’ve had so many battles, haven’t you? How are you not broken? Stefanovic asked.

‘Oh goodness,’ Newton-John began.

‘Come on,’ Stefanovic urged

‘I’ve had and am having an amazing life so I have no complaints,’ she replied

‘I really don’t. Everyone goes through something. We all have something we need to go through in life. This has been my challenge.’
