died Monday morning at her home in Southern California following a long battle with cancer. The 73-year-old was surrounded by loved ones, including her husband, John Easterling, and her daughter, Chloe Lattanzi.

She really went down in the past five, six days.”Newton-John was an outspoken advocate for using cannabis to help her deal with the chronic pain she experienced during her years-long battle with Stage 4 cancer, but Goldmsith says the drug provided little relief in the end.“It wasn’t enough,” Goldsmith stated, adding that her aunt “really struggled with a lot of pain.”Goldsmith was unable to be with chart-topper Newton-John at the time of her death, with the pair instead speaking over FaceTime. “I told her all the things I needed to say,” Goldmsith stated. “She was leaving us, but I feel like she got it.”The distraught niece also revealed that Newton-John was showing signs of strain when they last saw each other in Australia. “She was really skinny and unwell and I said to her, ‘Are you afraid of dying?’ and she said, ‘I’m not afraid.
