"Horrific" is the word Tom Cruise used to describe the sudden death of John Travolta's son, Jett.

Cruise commented on the passing of his friend's 16-year-old son during an appearance on The View that's set to air Friday, the AP reports. "John just adored him, both of his children," Cruise said. "It's something that I don't have the words for."
