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

Riley Keough has paid tribute to her mother and brother on the anniversary of their deaths.

Tuesday (13 July) marked the third anniversary of Benjamin Keough’s death. The actor’s brother died by suicide on 12 July 2020. He was 27.

The same day also marked six months since Keough’s mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died aged 54 earlier this year.

Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, suffered a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.

On Wednesday (13 July), Keough, 34, shared an old black-and-white photograph of her mum and younger brother on her Instagram Story to commemorate the occasion.

“Missing you both,” wrote the actor next to a red heart emoji.

The post came after Keough received her first-ever Emmy nomination for her lead role in the Prime Video series Daisy Jones & The Six.

The series is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel of the same name that follows a fictional Seventies rock band loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. Keough stars as the titular lead character.

Keough was one of six actors to get a nod in the category for Outstanding Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie.

Lizzy Caplan (Fleishman Is in Trouble), Jessica Chastain (George & Tammy), Dominique Fishback (Swarm), Kathryn Hahn (Tiny Beautiful Things), and Ali Wong (Beef) are the other nominees.

The 2023 Emmy nominees were announced on Wednesday (13 July), with Succession, The Last of Us, The White Lotus, and Ted Lasso leading the way with the most nods.

In order to be eligible for the year’s awards, TV shows had to have aired between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023.

In an 2022 interview, Keough opened up about how her character in Daisy Jones & The Six reminded her of her mother.

"My mother is certainly an inspiration to me," Keough said. "I was raised by somebody who did their own thing and didn’t really care what other people thought. She was definitely inspirational to me."

In October last year, Keough shared a photograph of herself and her brother as children on what would have been Benjamin’s 30th birthday.

"You would be 30 today. Happy Birthday my best friend, my angel," the actor wrote in her caption. "This world is strange without you.”

Earlier this week, Keough also premiered the trailer for her directorial debut War Pony, which follows two teenage boys.
