Lisa Marie Presley, singer and only child of Elvis, has died at 54 after 
being hospitalized for cardiac arrest, her mother Priscilla Presley said.

“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 Thursday evening.  “She was the most passionate, strong and 
loving woman I have ever known.”

Presley was taken to hospital Thursday after suffering full cardiac 
arrest, multiple news outlets are reporting. Presley’s mother, Pricilla 
Presley, also confirmed she was in the hospital and receiving care.

A police spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight that police were called 
to Presley’s Los Angeles home Thursday morning. When they arrived, they 
found paramedics working on Presley, 54, who was experiencing cardiac 
arrest.

The spokesperson confirmed that paramedics were able to help Presley 
regain a pulse before she was taken to a nearby hospital.

According to Craig Little, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire 
Department, paramedics were dispatched to a Calabasas home at 10:37 a.m. 
following the report of a woman in full cardiac arrest. Property records 
indicate Presley was a resident at that address.

Paramedics arrived about six minutes later and Presley was taken by 
ambulance to the hospital, Little said. Her condition was not immediately 
available.

The city of Calabasas is nestled between the foothills of the Santa Monica 
and Santa Susanna mountains about 50 kilometres northwest of downtown Los 
Angeles.

TMZ, which first reported the news, said paramedics performed CPR.

Her condition remains unclear and a rep for Presley told Deadline they 
have “no comment at this time.”

The songwriter’s health emergency comes just two days after Presley – the 
daughter of Priscilla Presley and the late Elvis Presley – attended the 
Golden Globe Awards to watch Austin Butler win the award for Best 
Performance in a Motion Picture (Drama) for his role as the late King of 
Rock ‘n’ Roll.

She praised the actor’s portrayal, telling ET that after watching the 
biopic, “I didn’t really know what to do with myself.”

“I had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so incredible 
and so spot-on and just so authentic that, yeah, I can’t even describe 
what it meant.”

Just days before that, she was in Memphis, Tennessee, at Graceland — the 
mansion where Elvis lived — to celebrate her father’s birth anniversary on 
Jan. 8.

Presley had recently penned an essay published in People about “the 
horrific reality” of her grief following her son Benjamin Keough’s death 
by suicide in 2020. Presley is also the mother of actor Riley Keough and 
twin daughters.

“I’ve dealt with death, grief and loss since the age of 9 years old. I’ve 
had more than anyone’s fair share of it in my lifetime and somehow, I’ve 
made it this far,” she wrote in August.

Presley released her own rock albums in the 2000s and appeared on stage 
with celebrities like Pat Benatar and Richard Hawley during her musical 
career.

She also formed direct musical ties with her father, joining her voice to 
such Elvis recordings as “Don’t Cry Daddy,” a mournful ballad which had 
reminded him of the early death of his mother — and Lisa Marie’s 
grandmother — Gladys Presley.

When Elvis died at the age of 42 in August 1977, Lisa Marie was nine years 
old. She was staying Graceland at the time and would recall him kissing 
her goodnight hours before he would collapse and never recover. When she 
next saw him, the following day, he was lying face down in the bathroom.

“I just had a feeling,” she told Rolling Stone in 2003. “He wasn’t doing 
well. All I know is I had it (a feeling), and it happened. I was obsessed 
with death at a very early age.”

After her father died, Lisa Marie became the sole heir of the Elvis 
Presley Trust. Along with Elvis Presley Enterprises, the trust managed 
Graceland and other assets until she sold her majority interest in 2005. 
She retained ownership of Graceland Mansion itself, the 13 acres around it 
and items inside the home. Her son is buried there, along with her father 
and other members of the Presley family.

Lisa Marie and her mother would often make regular trips to Graceland 
during huge fan celebrations on the anniversaries of Elvis’ death and 
birthday.

One of the two airplanes at Graceland is also named Lisa Marie.

Lisa Marie would later make headlines of her own. Struggles with drugs and 
some very public marriages. Her four husbands included Michael Jackson and 
Nicolas Cage.

Lisa Marie also became involved in numerous humanitarian causes, from 
anti-poverty programs administered through the Elvis Presley Charitable 
Foundation to relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina. She would receive 
formal citations from New Orleans and Memphis, Tennessee for her work.
