Another said: "Love & Light beautiful Chloe! Lost my mom late June and we both have beautiful guardian angels now! Take good care of yourself."

Olivia was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 but she went into remission following treatment.

The cancer returned in 2013 and again in 2017. She managed the pain using medicinal cannabis.

Her legacy lives on and her family asked for donations to be made to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund in her memory instead of flowers.

Earlier in August, Olivia's husband John Easterling told the world the terribly sad news his wife had died.

"Dame Olivia Newton-John (73) passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends. We ask that everyone please respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time,” it read.

"In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made in her memory to the @onjfoundation."
