Before turning the page to close the old chapter and start a new one with hopes of a better year, let's take a moment to remember some of those celebrities who have left us this year.

AceShowbiz - Youngsters nowadays may know Kelly Preston as John Travolta's wife, but back in her heyday, the late actress had made her name in Hollywood with a career that spanned more than 60 television and film productions, including "Twins" (1988), "Jerry Maguire" (1996) and "For Love of the Game" (1999). In her later years, the mother of three reunited with her husband onscreen in 2018's biopic "Gotti", after previously starring together in 1989's comedy film "The Experts".
The family gained public's sympathy following the death of their son Jett Travolta, who was suffering from Kawasaki disease as an infant and had a history of seizures in 2009, but little did people know that Kelly was later also dealing with her own health issue. The 57-year-old actress died on July 12, two years after she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, which she fought quietly, according to her husband John in a statement announcing her passing. After taking a break from social media to grieve, the "Grease" star has returned to Instagram and shared several tribute posts to his late wife.
