At the time of her death, her husband John announced the news alongside a photograph of her on Instagram and an emotional statement.

Olivia's husband released an emotional statement announcing her death
"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."
Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 after she found a lump in her right breast. She underwent a round of chemotherapy and radiation and had a partial mastectomy. After nine months, she was declared cancer-free.
Sadly, her cancer returned in 2013 and spread to her shoulder, but she did not share the news until she publicly revealed her third diagnosis in 2017, later revealing cancer had spread to her bones.
