Grieving Kelly Preston has decided against speaking about the tragic death of her son Jett at a special panel during the California Governor's Conference for Women. Preston had originally agreed to discuss life after she and husband John Travolta lost their 16-year-old son earlier this year during a holiday in the Bahamas.

She was due to sit on the Grief and Resilience panel at the Maria Shriver-hosted event in October. But now she has released a statement apologising for pulling out of the event, revealing it is 'just too soon' for her to speak. Kelly said: "I am sorry, but I truly believed that I could do it. Otherwise I never would have said that I could. But I am still deeply in the process of healing, and it's just too soon." Maria Shriver, who is organising the event said: "Everyone has their own path to healing and their own timetable for grieving. Kelly's presence will be missed, but the main stage conversation on grief and resilience with Elizabeth Edwards, Susan Saint James and myself will continue as planned. "Having just lost my own mother and my uncle, I believe it's an important and meaningful subject because loss and grief will touch everyone at some point in their lives."
