00:00 Happy birthday, Ella.
00:02 Thank you.
00:03 What are you doing?
00:04 Baking a cake.
00:05 John Travolta's little girl is all grown up.
00:09 The Oscar winner paid tribute to his daughter, Ella Blue Travolta,
00:13 with a heartfelt video montage for her 24th birthday on April 3rd.
00:17 John shared a personal look at the family's home life
00:20 with candid Instagram videos of Ella baking a cake
00:24 before the pair enjoyed a ride in a vintage car.
00:27 The actor also gave followers a peek at a stack of gifts and balloons
00:31 before Ella blew out her candles as her famous dad wished her well on her special day.
00:36 Happy birthday, Ella.
00:38 Thank you.
00:39 What are you doing?
00:40 Baking a cake.
00:41 Oh, that looks beautiful.
00:44 Very good.
00:45 Happy birthday, Ella.
00:46 Thank you.
00:47 It's Ella's birthday.
00:50 Ella and John give each other frequent social media shout-outs,
00:54 especially for special occasions.
00:56 In February, Ella wished John a happy milestone 70th birthday
01:00 with a cute throwback photo writing in her heartfelt caption,
01:04 "Happy birthday to the man who was always by my side
01:07 and who was always bringing light and beauty into this world.
01:10 I love you to the moon and back."
01:12 The bond between John, Ella, and her younger brother Benjamin
01:15 has only seemed to grow stronger as they've coped with the loss of Kelly Preston,
01:19 who sadly died of breast cancer in 2020.
01:23 Last year, aspiring singer Ella shared with Access Hollywood
01:27 how her famous dad has supported her as she follows her dreams
01:30 and what advice he's given her along the way.
01:33 Even for anything that I've been offered or going to do
01:39 or thinking about if I should do or should not do,
01:41 whether a movie or anything like that,
01:44 he's always given his advice or his idea,
01:48 but let it ultimately be up to me and said,
01:51 "Well, what do you think that you should do or how do you feel about it?"
01:56 So it's always been ultimately my choice,
01:59 which I think is very important because you can take everyone else's advice,
02:03 but then you have to make sure that it's really coming from you
02:06 and what you want to do.
