Tom Cruise has sent his sympathies to friend John Travolta after the recent death of his son Jett.

"I remember Jett when he was born," Tom tells US talk show The View, scheduled to air on Friday.

"I saw him when he was just a few months old and John just adored him, and both of his children, and Kelly."

Jett, 16, died on January 2 after suffering a seizure on holiday with his family in the Bahamas.

"I just don't have the words for it," added Tom, who was on the show to promote his new movie Valkyrie.

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