Last week, it was reported that Olivia's "bodily functions [appeared] to be shutting down" but that she was "clinging to life" to see her daughter, Chloe Lattanza, get married.

In September, the 70-year-old star revealed that her cancer had returned in the form of a tumour at the base of her spine and that she was using medical cannabis as a treatment for the illness.

Olivia was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and beat the disease. In 2013, she was diagnosed with a tumour in her shoulder.
