Singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, has died aged 54 hours after being hospitalised, her family has said.
She had been brought to a California hospital's intensive care unit in cardiac arrest.
"Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie," the family said in a statement.
"They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
Priscilla Presley - Lisa Marie's mother, who was married to Elvis for six years until their divorce in 1973 - said in a statement to People magazine: "It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us."
"Our hearts are broken with the sudden and shocking passing of Lisa Marie Presley tonight.... It's too much," said Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, who starred in the recent biopic movie Elvis.
"Lisa baby girl, I'm so sorry. I'll miss you but I know I'll see you again," wrote actor John Travolta on Instagram.
"How heartbreaking. I hope she is at peace in her dad's arms," tweeted singer LeAnn Rimes.
Lisa Marie Presley was found "unresponsive" by her housekeeper at home yesterday morning in the celebrity-studded Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, entertainment website TMZ reported.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department, which runs paramedic services, told media that crews attended a woman in her mid-50s suffering cardiac arrest just after 10.30am local time.
Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband, Danny Keough, who also lives at the property, performed CPR until paramedics arrived and transported her to the hospital, where she was put in an induced coma on life support, but later died, TMZ said.
As recently as Tuesday, mother and daughter were seen together at the Golden Globe awards in Beverly Hills, where Austin Butler was awarded Best Actor in a drama for his turn as The King in Baz Luhrmann's film Elvis.
Butler, whose performance has earned wide praise, thanked the two women during his acceptance speech.
"Thank you, guys. Thank you for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever," Butler said.
Two nights before that, at a Los Angeles event thrown by Elvis studio Warner Bros, Lisa Marie Presley gave a brief speech in which she said she was "overwhelmed by this film" and that her father would "be very proud."
Lisa Marie Presley was Elvis's only child and was nine-years-old when he died. She had previously controlled Elvis Presley Enterprises, but sold the bulk of shares in the company to a private equity firm in 2005.
She retained control of Graceland, the Memphis, Tennessee estate her father owned and where he was found unconscious in August 1977.
He was taken to the hospital but pronounced dead from a heart attack. Toxicology reports found high levels of prescription drugs in his system.
Lisa Marie Presley was born on 1 February 1968 in Memphis,Tennessee.
Her own music career began with a 2003 debut album To Whom It May Concern. It was followed by 2005's Now What, and both hit the top 10 of the Billboard 200 album chart. A third album, Storm and Grace, was released in 2012.
She was married four times. She wed pop star Michael Jackson in 1994, just 20 days after her divorce from her first husband, musician Danny Keough. The high-profile couple divorced in 1996.
In 2002, she married actor Nicholas Cage, who filed for divorce four months later.
Her fourth marriage was to her guitarist and music producer Michael Lockwood. Their divorce was finalised in 2021.
Her only son, Benjamin Keough, himself a musician, died in 2020 at age 27, a death ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County coroner.
Lisa Marie Presley remembered her son in an essay for People magazine earlier this year that she posted on Instagram, calling herself "destroyed" by his death.
She is survived by daughter Riley Keough, 33, an actress, and 14-year-old twin daughters Harper and Finley Lockwood.
When the Presley's visited Fethard, Co Tipperary
Lisa Marie Presley along with her mother Pricilla visited McCarthy's Bar in Fethard, Co Tipperary a number of times in 2007 when they were staying in a local castle.
The bar owner, Jasper McCarthy said Lisa Marie was a lovely and beautiful woman who arrived into the bar with around 15 members of her family and friends.
He gave her a tour of the the 200-year-old bar and she wanted to buy his old antique beer taps but he said he could not part with them.
"If Elvis himself wanted to buy them I couldn't part with them," Jasper said.
He said he has very fond memories of meeting her and was very shocked to hear of her untimely death.
