Olivia Newton-John\u2019s daughter Chloe Lattanzi couldn\u2019t help but get emotional when she appeared on Australian morning show Sunrise to talk about her late mum\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

Chloe, 37, was on the show to plug her Olivia\u2019s Walk For Wellness, which is a charity event taking place on 8 October in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Olivia\u2019s Walk For Wellness will see thousands of fans take to the streets of the city to walk five kilometers in aid of those diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere really isn\u2019t any greater purpose in life than to give to others, to be of service to others,\u201d Chloe said. \u201cI learned that from my mum from a very young age.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that her mom had her \u201cplanting trees\u201d and \u201ctaking care of animals\u201d as a child.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she was diagnosed with her cancer, it was about focusing on helping other people,\u201d Chloe, who is an actress and singer, added: \u201cWhen I went through my mental illness, I focused on connecting with people who were going through similar trauma and pain. Her and I are similar in that way, and I really am grateful that she instilled that in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chloe then said that the loss of her mother was \u201cstill raw\u201d for her as she broke down in tears live on air.<\/p>\n

The 37 year old added that she had been suffering from memory loss since Olivia\u2019s death and would be stepping away from the spotlight for a while after the fundraiser.<\/p>\n

Olivia died on 8 August 2022 at the age of 73, following a 30 year on-off battle with breast cancer.<\/p>\n

The Grease star was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and was able to successfully treat it with a partial mastectomy and chemotherapy.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the cancer resurfaced in 2013 as a tumour in her shoulder, and the star said in 2017 that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that had spread to her back.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the star announced that she had created the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, which funded experimental treatments and trials in a bid to put an end to the illness.<\/p>\n

The first Olivia Newton-John Walk For Wellness took place on 26 September 2021 – her 73rd birthday- as a virtual event to \u201chelp people with cancer thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since her death, Olivia\u2019s beloved daughter Chloe – who she was very close with – has taken over the responsibility of organising the event.<\/p>\n

Chloe is Olivia\u2019s only child, and her dad is American singer and dancer Matt Lattanzi.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
