Lisa Marie Presley, singer-songwriter and only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, has died at 54.
According to multiple reports, Presley suffered a cardiac arrest on January 12, and was taken to the hospital earlier in the day from her home in Calabasas, California.
Tonight her mother, Priscilla, confirmed in a statement: “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”
Lisa Marie’s passing comes just two days after she attended the Golden Globes, where Austin Butler won best actor in a motion picture, drama, for playing Elvis. She appeared deeply emotional as the actor thanked Priscilla and Lisa Marie, saying, “I love you forever.” He later told reporters that he is “endlessly grateful” to the Presleys for “welcoming me into their family in such a beautiful way.”
