Riley Keough pays tribute to mother Lisa Marie Presley and brother Benjamin following Emmy nomination

Riley Keough has paid tribute to her late mother Lisa Marie Presley and brother Benjamin as she earned her first Emmy nomination for her turn in Daisy Jones & the Six.

The granddaughter of Elvis Presley took to Instagram to share a black-and-white photo of the pair from yesteryear following her award announcement on the third anniversary of her sibling’s passing.

The 34-year-old wrote alongside the post on her Instagram story on Wednesday: “Missing you both.”

Keough’s younger brother tragically died, age 27, in 2020 by suicide while the same day also marked the six-month anniversary of her mother’s death aged 54 earlier this year.

The singer suffered a cardiac arrest at her Calabasas home on January 12.

Keough’s grandmother Priscilla Presley also marked the sombre occasion by sharing a rose emoji to her own Instagram and captioned it: “Needless to say, this has been a very solemn day for me – the anniversary of the passing of my sweet grandson Ben.

“Words cannot express how much you are missed – Nona.”

It was a bittersweet day for The Devil All The Time actress who also received her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for lead actress in a limited/anthology series/movie as the titular character in Daisy Jones & the Six.

The Amazon Prime series, adapted from Taylor Jenkins Reid’s hit 2019 novel of the same name, chronicles the rise and fall of a fictional 1970s rock band.

After learning of her nomination, Keough told E! News: “I’m surprised, I’m feeling really grateful and just blessed and honored.”

The actress faces stiff competition in the category against Beef’s Ali Wong, Swarm’s Dominque Fishback, George & Tammy’s Jessica Chastain, Tiny Beautiful Things’ Kathryn Hahn, and Fleishman is in Trouble’ s Lizzy Caplan.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards is scheduled to air September 18, should WGA/SAG strikes have ended.
