Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi breaks down on live TV while discussing her mother’s legacy ahead of visiting Australia for charity walk

Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi broke down in tears on Tuesday’s edition of Sunrise as she discussed her late mother’s legacy. 

The US-based singer and actress, 37, appeared on the Australian breakfast show to discuss her upcoming appearance at Olivia’s Walk for Wellness in Melbourne on Sunday, October 8.

‘I’m sorry, it’s still raw for me. People I don’t even know have lifted me up and I have been able to engage with people going through cancer,’ she began. 

‘It’s an honour to continue the Walk for Wellness. There isn’t a greater purpose in life than to give to others and when I went through my mental illness I focused on connecting with people who were going through similar pain.’

Chloe said that even when Olivia was struggling with her own breast cancer, she still took the time to help other cancer patients and let them know they’re not alone. 

‘Even when she was at the hardest part of the battle she was still making it about others. The outpouring of people’s love is tangible. It’s still raw for me.’ 

The 10th annual Olivia Walk for Wellness will take place in Melbourne’s scenic Alexandra Gardens, with participants walking five kilometres to raise money for cancer research.

It comes after Chloe revealed a sad health update on social media in August, one year after her mother’s death.

The Los Angeles native said she has been suffering from memory loss since she lost her mum last year, following the Grease star’s 20-year battle with breast cancer.

‘I have not been okay. I’ve had extreme memory loss and difficulty getting out of bed. I’ve been neglecting myself,’ she explained in an Instagram video. 

‘One of my mum’s biggest messages was to take care of yourself. So, I’m gonna disappear for about three weeks because I’m developing health issues in my mind and body.’
