John Travolta said Sunday he and his wife Kelly Preston are “heartbroken" over the death of their chronically ill 16-year-old son, in their first public statement since Jett's death..

We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered.

We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us hope for a brighter future.
John Travolta

Michael McDermott, an attorney for the actor, said Sunday that although Jett was last seen Thursday and found the following day, he doesn't believe that the teen was in the bathroom for a substantial amount of time.

The police left the impression that the boy was unsupervised. No. There were two nannies with him for the entire evening. They made it seem like he was sent to the condo and nobody checked in on him until the next morning. (Jett) was spectacularly supervised.
