There's been tributes from stars like John Travolta, Kylie Minogue, Delta Goodrem and Hugh Jackman, and even one from Hunter Valley singer-songwriter William Crighton.
Crighton shared on social media his personal story of meeting the Grease and Xanadu singer and actress.
"My brother Luke Crighton and I met her once (around 2007) at a backyard BBQ in LA," Crighton wrote.
"We talked for a long time and she even phoned my dad back in Ardlethan, NSW. He's a huge fan and after waiting 45 years or so to talk to her his first question was, 'getting any rain over there?'
"After our yarn I saw her do one of the greatest duets with Joe Walsh from about five feet away."
