Looking back at photos from as recently as May, it is clear the 57-year-old wasn’t well even though she managed to carry on smiling and working.

In February, Kelly was snapped as she filmed a movie in Mallorca while accompanied at all times by her daughter Ella Bleu Travolta.

Kelly looks casual in a khaki green jacket with a black top and trousers, on her back is a massive blue rucksack.

In another photo, taken in April, taken from a video of the family wishing their fans a happy Easter Kelly looks visibly frail as she sits next to her children on the sofa.

At one point Kelly even used a large sunflower to briefly cover up her face in the short clip.

The 57-year-old actress’s husband, John Travolta, revealed she had passed away after a secret two-year battle with breast cancer on Sunday evening.

He shared a photo of Kelly last night and told his fans: “It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer.”

The actor paid tribute to his wife’s “courageous fight” as he revealed that she had battled the disease for two years, but chose to keep her illness private.
