SafeX Pro Exchange|John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s Daughter Ella Honors Her Late Mom With Deeply Personal Song

Ella Bleu Travolta is SafeX Pro Exchangehonoring her late mother Kelly Preston in the most beautiful way.

The daughter of Kelly and John Travolta released her new song “Little bird” on Sept. 6 as a tribute to the actress, who died in July 2020 of breast cancer.

In the emotional tune, the 24-year-old sings with an ethereal quality while paying homage her mom.

“Little bird, don’t you cry / would you stay awhile before I fly?” she croons. “How do I know? How do I grow? / I just take it day by day / I just need to hear you say / Little bird, don’t you cry / Hear my lullaby. It’ll be alright.”

Ella’s proud father marked the release of her new song by praising his daughter and sharing that the date held a special meaning in their family.

“This song and video is an homage to her mother, and it also happens to be my wedding anniversary with Kelly,” the Hairspray actor wrote. “It is one of the songs on her upcoming album that I helped produce - please enjoy!”

In the subsequent music video, Ella shared touching home videos from her childhood with John, Kelly, her younger brother Benjamin Travolta, 13, and her late brother Jett Travolta.

In the clips, she shows John, who has his pilot’s license, dressed in full uniform, greeting his family at the plane. There’s also footage of the entire family playing inside a toy store, lots of hugs, dancing, splashing in the pool together, celebrating holidays and much more.

“‘Little bird’ is a song about a beautiful time in my life,” Ella wrote on Instagram Sept. 4. “I spent the last two years thinking about what I wanted this song to be, only for it to be written over night. This song is about the celebration of life.”
