Tottie Goldsmith has shared an emotional tribute to her late aunt Olivia Newton-John to mark the two-year anniversary of her death.
“I can’t quite believe she took flight two years ago today,” Tottie, 61, wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of Olivia and herself.
“It’s a powerful day today. The 8th of the 8th & 2024 adds up to 8.
“I’m sure she’ll send us a heart shaped cloud or a glowing rainbow.”
The 61-year-old went on to say that she is “flooded with beautiful memories”.
“There’s not a day that I don’t feel you in my heart Liv.
“Thinking of our family and all that loved her … especially our Chloe Bear,” she finished, referring to Olivia’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi.
Tottie has regularly heaped praise upon her talented aunt over the years, emotionally recalling how Olivia supported her during her headline-making drug scandal.
“She’s my greatest champion,” Tottie said while appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
“She is always so proud of me and proud of the things that I do. Even in that drug situation she championed me. She is one of the most positive and beautiful people I know.”
Olivia Newton-John passed away in August 2022 after a long battle with cancer.
It was the Grease star’s husband John Easterling who revealed the news of the singer’s death.
Releasing a statement to social media, John announced that Olivia had passed away “surrounded by family and friends” on her ranch in Southern California.
“Dame Olivia Newton-John (73) passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends.
“We ask that everyone please respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time,” Olivia’s husband wrote.
“Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer.
“Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer.
“In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made in her memory to the @onjfoundation.”
