Kylie Minogue has written a moving tribute to the late Dame Olivia Newton-John, sharing a throwback photograph of the pair together.

The black and white photo was taken in 1988 and shows Dame Olivia and Kylie side by side at the The Royal Australian Bicentennial Concert. The image was shared from the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's account.

In a message alongside the photo, Kylie said, 'since I was ten years old, I have loved and looked up' to Dame Olivia, and added that she will continue to do so.

'She was, and always will be, an inspiration to me in so many, many ways,' Kylie went onto say, before offering her, 'deepest condolences to [Dame Olivia Newton-John’s] family and loved ones.'

Kylie ended the post by writing, 'ONJ4EVER.'

Other photographs from the same 1988 event the pair are pictured at, show a young Kylie and Dame Olivia meeting Princess Diana and Prince Charles.

Kylie wears a white, full-shirted dress with a pointed heart neckline while Dame Olivia channels her famous character from Grease, in a black off-the-shoulder look.

Dame Olivia’s co-star in the iconic film, John Travolta, also wrote an emotional tribute to his 'dearest Olivia.'

He said the star, 'made all of our lives so much better,' and adding that her 'impact was incredible.'

'I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever!' John wrote.

He signed the moving post off with, 'Your Danny, your John!'
