OCALA, Fla., Jan. 6 (UPI) -- John Travolta and Kelly Preston have brought their only son Jett's ashes home to Ocala, Fla., from the Bahamas, a source told "Entertainment Tonight."

Jett Travolta died of a seizure disorder at the age of 16 last week while on vacation with his parents and 8-year-old sister, Ella.

An autopsy was performed in the Bahamas Monday and Jett's body cremated afterward.

An insider told "Entertainment Tonight" Travolta and Preston were given an urn containing their son's ashes, which they took home to Florida.

Funeral plans for the teen haven't been publicly disclosed, the entertainment news program said on its Web site.
