The statement reads: "We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences.

Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. 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. We have received many messages of condolences 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.

With love,
John, Kelly and Ella"

An autopsy for Jett will reportedly be held on Monday in the Bahamas, where the tragedy took place.

Tears come to my eyes every time I think of it. When I see my children, even during conflicts, I can’t imagine my life without them. Millions of parents-those who have gone through the same thing, or those who fear it-are supporting you during these hard times.

To the family,
May the light of the Lord comfort and keep you in your time of grief. No matter what you believe, or how many people disagree with you. First and foremost you were parents, your love knows no boundaries. He lives and thrives in a more beautiful and peaceful place. No matter what is said and done at the end of the day.
God Bless us all.
