Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of legendary singer Elvis, has died at the age of 54.
“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.
Media reports claimed that Lisa Marie, who is also a singer, was rushed to the hospital earlier on Thursday. She had cardiac arrest, the media reports added.
She was found unresponsive at her home in Calabasas, California, sources said. “She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement.
“We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss,” her mother said while shedding no details about the possible cause of death.
Born in 1968, Lisa Marie went on to follow in her father’s footsteps and forged a career in music. The star released three albums, with her 2003 debut studio album selling hundreds of thousands of copies and receiving generally positive reviews.
