Lisa Marie Presley, a musician and the only daughter of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley, has died after being rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital, her mother said.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," her mother, Priscilla Presley, said in a statement.
"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 gave no details about the possible cause of death.
Presley, 54, suffered cardiac arrest in her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, according to website TMZ.
The outlet said paramedics performed CPR and administered the drug epinephrine to restart her pulse.
Lisa Marie Presley was born in 1968 and is the owner of her father's Graceland mansion in Memphis, a popular tourist attraction. She was nine years old when Elvis died at Graceland in 1977.
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.
The star was also well known for a series of high-profile marriages to pop legend Michael Jackson, actor Nicholas Cage and musicians Danny Keough and Michael Lockwood.
She had three children, including the actress Riley Keough. Presley's son, Benjamin Keough, died in 2020.
On Tuesday, Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley attended the Golden Globes ceremony in Beverly Hills, where Austin Butler won best actor in a drama film for his leading role in last year's Elvis biopic.
As he accepted the award, Butler thanked both of the women, saying "I love you forever."
