Lisa Marie Presley, the singer-songwriter and only child of Elvis Presley, died on Thursday after being hospitalised earlier that day, her mother said in a statement.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement.
“She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”
The announcement came just hours after Priscilla Presley had confirmed that Lisa Marie Presley was rushed to hospital earlier on Thursday.
Los Angeles County paramedics were dispatched to a Calabasas home just after 10.30am local time, following a report of a woman in full cardiac arrest, according to Craig Little, a spokesperson for the county’s fire department.
Property records indicate Presley was a resident at that address.
