Tributes are pouring in after Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, died at the age of 54.
The musician died at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a medical emergency at home, just two days after she attended the Golden Globes.
In a statement, the Presley family said: “Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie.
“They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”
Following in the footsteps of her father, Presley pursued a career in the music industry.
She released three albums: “To Whom It May Concern” (2003), “Now What” (2005), and “Storm & Grace” (2012).
In 2018, her new record “Where No One Stands Alone” featured 14 original performances recorded by Elvis including a reimagined duet, in which she sang alongside her father – who died at the age of 42 in 1977.

To mark America’s National Grief Awareness Day last August, Presley wrote a piece about the low points she has experienced in the aftermath of her son Benjamin Keough’s suicide.
She said her life was “detonated and destroyed” by Keough’s death, urging people to join support groups, writing: “Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but finding support can sometimes help you feel a little bit less alone.”
She added: “It’s a real choice to keep going, one that I have to make every single day and one that is constantly challenging to say the least... But I keep going for my girls.”

Several users have called out the efforts to link her death to vaccines.
Kind of pathetic seeing all these people saying Lisa Marie Presley had cardiac arrest because she had the covid vaccine.
They're ignoring that her father and paternal grandmother both died in their 40's from cardiac arrest. It's hereditary and the Presley's have a history of it.— Armando Testani (@juventuz) January 12, 2023
Lisa Marie Presley (54) has outlived her father (42) and her grandmother (46) who both died of heart attacks. I had 2 heart attacks in 2014 at age 41. All well before covid. Heart attacks are hereditary in the Presley. That won't stop the antivax crowd from spewing their crap.

COVID causes cardiac problems.
Eventually we are going to have to contend with the fact that we are seeing A LOT of heart attacks that we shouldn't.
Heart attacks in young, healthy people.
The anti-vaxxers are certainly noticing.
THEY are offering an explanation: vaccines.— Gwen Snyder is on Mastodon (@gwensnyderPHL) January 13, 2023
