Both Olivia’s late mother and sister have had their ashes scattered in Byron Bay, a place close to the star's heart. Her Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre can also be found in the town.

“I’d like to be partly scattered there, and partly in other places that I love. I don’t think I’ve really thought about that, that deeply. But I better, I guess we all should,” she admitted.

Rebel is well known for starring in the Pitch Perfect films, and she touched on how Olivia had a huge impact on her career path.

“Seeing you star in the huge Hollywood blockbuster Grease with your natural accent was so instrumental to me as a little girl, helping me to believe that it was possible for an Aussie girl to star in huge international musicals,” she wrote.
