Billy Ray Cyrus offers condolences to devastated John Travolta, wifeWashington, January 6 : Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus has expressed his sorrow to heartbroken couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston, who lost their son on January 2.

The grieving parents' 16-year-old Jett was found unconscious following a seizure in a bathroom in the family's holiday home in the Bahamas.

Jett, who began suffering from seizures at the age of two and was a toddler when he was diagnosed with rare Kawasaki disease, had later been taken to Rand Memorial Hospital, Freeport, where he was pronounced dead.

Mike Ossi, the family's lawyer, had revealed that the couple's celebrity friends, including Oprah, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, had sent messages to make it known that they were with the family during their hard times.

And now, Cyrus, the father of `Hannah Montana' actress Miley, too has extended his support.

"They''re great human beings and strong people. And, again, our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family," he added. (ANI)
