Lisa Marie Presley, only daughter of the late Elvis, passes away aged 54 following reported cardiac arrest

Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the late Elvis, has passed away at the age of 54 after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest.

Paramedics were called to the singer's Calabasas house and rushed the star to hospital following CPR.

They were able to regain a pulse before transporting the 54-year-old to hospital, TMZ reported at the time. She was subsequently understood to be receiving treatment.

It has now been announced that she has died, with mum Priscilla Presley, 77, releasing an emotional statement.

Priscilla said: "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 was the only child of the late singer Elvis and Priscilla. She was born nine months after the pair tied the knot and was just nine-years-old at the time of her father's death in 1977.

She leaves behind her three daughters; actor Riley Keough, 33, and twins Harper Lockwood and Finley Lockwood, 14.

Her son Benjamin Keough died in 2020. He took his own life, at the age of 27, at a property said to have belonged to his mother.

Lisa Marie wrote an essay for National Grief Awareness Day last year, in which she stated that, following his death, she kept going for the sake of her three daughters.

She wrote in the People essay: "I keep going for my girls. I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind."

Just days before her own death, Lisa Marie had attended the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills. She had been in attendance at the ceremony alongside her mother.

Lisa Marie, just like her mother, was seen cheering when actor Austin Butler, 31, won Best Actor in a Drama for portraying her father in the acclaimed biopic Elvis.

She had been full of praise for the actor's role as her father, saying he was able to "channel" her late dad in the biopic.

Austin paid tribute to the Presley family in his acceptance speech, saying: "The Presley family, thank you guys for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever."

Lisa Marie had continued to keep her father's legacy alive in the decades since his death. This has included talking about him in various interviews over the years.

Describing him once, she said: "He was very protective [and] very adoring." Lisa Marie further commented: "I knew that I was loved, there's no question about that."

Fans and famous faces immediately took to social media to pay their respects following the sad news of her death.

Among those penning tributes on Twitter was singer Leann Rimes who wrote: "Lisa Marie Presley… how heartbreaking. I hope she is at peace in her dad’s arms. My heart goes out to her family. Too much grief in just a couple of years. #ripLisaMarie #LisaMariePresley"
