Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s only child, died at 54.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must convey the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” said Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla.
“I’ve never met someone as passionate, strong, and loving as she was. We ask for privacy as we process this devastating loss. Thank you for your warm words and prayers. There will be no further comments at this time.”
Lisa Marie and her mother Priscilla had just returned from the Golden Globes, where Austin Butler had won best actor for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the corresponding Baz Luhrmann film. During his prize speech, he thanked the family for their help, and Lisa Marie sobbed.
Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s sole child with his wife Priscilla, was born in 1968. She followed in her mother’s footsteps, recording three albums, the first of which was released in 2003.
She was married to musicians Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, as well as Nicolas Cage and Danny Keough.
The mother-of-four was rushed to the hospital on Thursday but died later that day.
According to a TMZ report from earlier in the day, the 54-year-old was discovered lifeless in her bedroom in her Calabasas home. She was placed in an induced coma and given a temporary pacemaker. Her housekeeper allegedly discovered her. Lisa Marie’s ex-husband Danny, with whom she still lived, immediately began CPR until paramedics arrived.
Benjamin Keough, her second child with Danny, committed suicide in 2020 at 28. The mother was 51.
Riley Keough, his older sister, will play Daisy Jones in a future television series based on Taylor Jenkins-bestselling Reid’s novel Daisy Jones and The Six.
Finley Aaron and Harper Lockwood Lisa’s children are twins Vivienne Ann Lockwood, 14. Michael Lockwood, Rihanna’s ex-husband from 2006 until 2016, is their father.
Tom Hanks and his wife Rita, who both worked on the Elvis biography, acknowledged Lisa’s “eloquent” depiction of her father and “what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her dad” in a lengthy statement.
Rita described Lisa Marie as “extremely honest, straightforward, vulnerable, and excited about the film.”
“By walking us around individually, she made Graceland feel like home to us.”
On social media, John Travolta stated, “Lisa, baby girl, I’m sorry.” “Although I’ll miss you, I’m sure I’ll see you again. “I’m sending my love to Riley, Priscilla, Harper, and Finley.”
“I will never forget the times we spent together,” Donnatella Versace remarked with a photo of herself and Lisa Marie. “Your beauty and kindness showed so clearly. Lisa Marie, may you find peace. We’ll never forget you.”
Pink, the singer, praised Lisa Marie as “one of a kind, hilarious as [expletive], clever as a whip, sensitive, talented, witty, cruel, kind, judgmental but always right, loyal, and you adored your children” in a statement that broke her heart.
