Tom Cruise Speaks Out About The Sudden Death Of Jett Travolta

On Friday's The View, Tom Cruise is visibly shaken when asked about the death of pal John Travolta's 16-year-old son Jett.

"It's just horrific," he tells Barbara Walters. "Here you have a man, both of them doting parents, they're wonderful people and ..."

"I remember Jett when he was born," Cruise later says. "I saw him when he was just a few months old and John just adored him, and both of his children, and Kelly.

"I just don't have the words for it," Cruise adds of Jett's death.

Cruise also comments on the speculation that Scientology discourages followers from seeking medical care. (Both Cruise and Travolta are famous Scientologists.)

"That's just not true. It's actually false," Cruise says. "They say, 'Get your physical, get your medication, get your physical illnesses handled.'"

John Travolta and Kelly Preston said their final goodbyes to their 16-year-old son Jett at his funeral Thursday afternoon.

Jett's service took place at Jumbolair Aviation Estates in Ocala, Florida, where he and his family lived for several months out of the year.

Travolta's next-door neighbor, Jacob Urbowicz, gathered outside the private memorial service along with other fans and neighbors.

"John waves to me from his plane, and for somebody like him to do that is pretty special," Urbowicz, 44, tells Usmagazine.com. "My 10-year-old son Alexander and Jett would smile and wave at each other [when they saw each other]."

Flower delivery trucks came to the site throughout the day to drop off roses, lilies and other arrangements. Posters and cards have also been left for the family at their home in Florida.
