The following celebrities were among the 100 people who attended the memorial service for Jett Travolta:
Lisa Marie Presley; country music singers Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood; Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker; Sopranos lead James Gandolfini; Cheers star Kirstie Alley; and baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.
A source told the Star-Banner in Ocala that the only person who spoke at the service was a female minister of the Church of Scientology. The guests came into the tent for the service and after they were seated, Travolta, Preston and their 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu, arrived.
After the service ended, both parents kissed the photo of Jett displayed behind the podium.
Jett died over the New Year's holiday after suffering a seizure while on vacation in the Bahamas with his family.
