Reports that Swayze was suffering from pancreatic cancer surfaced on Wednesday, and were later confirmed by his publicist.
And Grey has sent her best wishes for a swift recovery to the man who starred alongside her in the 1987 classic.
She says, "It is so sad. If I saw him on the streets today, I'd throw my arms around him and love him up."
On Thursday, Whoopi Goldberg and Lea Thompson, Swayze's co-stars in Ghost and Red Dawn, respectively, both offered the actor their support.
