Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter Riley Keough’s heartbreaking tribute to her late brother just weeks before her mom’s death
LISA Marie Presley's daughter shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late brother just weeks before her mom died.
Lisa Marie, the only child of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley, died at the age of 54 on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest at her home in California.
Paramedics tried to revive the singer and performed CPR on her after she was found unresponsive.
She was rushed to hospital before she died.
Lisa Marie had spent her last years in anguish over her son Benjamin Keough's suicide - who took his own life in 2020 during a party for his girlfriend’s birthday.
And just weeks ago, her daughter Riley Keough, 33, posted a sweet photo of her and her late brother on what would have been his 30th birthday.
Alongside the picture of the siblings wearing matching stripy outfits, the actress and model wrote: "You would be 30 today.
"Happy Birthday my best friend, my angel.
"This world is strange without you."
Lisa Marie's mother, Priscilla Presley, confirmed the news of her daughter's death in a statement on Thursday.
