Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe Lattanzi is continuing the work the late superstar started.
In honor of Olivia's Walk for Wellness—a 5K that raises money for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre—the 36-year-old sat down with Australia's Today Show for a rare look inside her life two months after her mom's death.
"It's so beautiful to see how many Australians have come out for my mom," she told host Richard Wilkins in a live interview on the day of the Oct. 9 event. "I'm so moved."
Though Lattanzi stayed back in California, she said she was "there in spirit" at the Melbourne event that meant so much to the Grease star.
"This was her heart. This is what she lived for," Lattanzi continued. "She saw the benefits of holistic treatments and acupuncture and music therapy, the benefits for her. So, she wanted people to have access to all of those things, and that's what we're really raising money for. The wellness center is and has been the most important thing to her. I'm sorry. I'm a bit shaky. I apologize, Richard."
Getting choked up, she went on to remember how important kindness was to her mom.
"All she wanted to do was good in the world, you know?" Lattanzi shared with the news organization. "She didn't care about the fame or anything like that. Her mission was helping people and animals."
That's now being carried out by Lattanzi as well as Newton-John's husband John Easterling. Taking to Instagram Oct. 7, he announced a donation of $300,000 to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre on behalf of her estate and pledged to personally match up to $100,000 for each of the first three donations of $100,000 or more.
"Walk this walk standing tall with confidence, with courage and with hope," he said in a video, "the way Olivia walked her walk."
