Lisa Marie Presley passed away at the age of 54. According to “family sources” speaking exclusively with TMZ, Presley was pronounced dead at a Los Angeles area hospital on Thursday.
According to TMZ, Presley’s housekeeper found her unresponsive in her bedroom around 1:43 p.m. on Thursday. Around the same time, Presley’s ex-husband Danny Keough returned home from taking their children to school. And he performed CPR on Presley until paramedics arrived.
Once paramedics arrived, they were reportedly able to regain a pulse from the 54-year-old. She was then transported to the hospital.
Later that afternoon, Lisa Marie Presley’s mother, Priscilla Presley, arrived at the hospital to be with her daughter. The matriach also shared an update about her daughter’s condition on Instagram.
My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital. She is now receiving the best care. Please keep her and our family in your prayers. We feel the prayers from around the world, and ask for privacy during this time.

Presley was taken to the Intensive Care Unit and was placed on life support with a temporary pacemaker, as reported by TMZ. Sources added that the 54-year-old was “in an induced coma and in critical condition.”
According to sources, it was discovered that Presley had complained of stomach pains earlier that morning. And noted that the pain got stronger and stronger. The source was reportedly emphatic to note that “this was NOT a suicide attempt” made by Presley.
TMZ also added that the 54-year-old’s daughter Riley Keough was by her bedside at the time of their reporting.
TMZ shared the news of Presley’s death. As well as an exclusive statement from a representative on behalf of Priscilla Presley.
Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.
A similar statement was also shared with PEOPLE.
It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.
Lisa Marie Presley was born exactly nine months after her parents, Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, tied the knot, as reported by TMZ.
In 1977, she became joint heir to her father’s estate, alongside her grandfather and great-grandmother, after her father passed of a heart attack. Like her father, Presley became a singer-songwriter. And was in the public eye for “several high-profile” marriages — including one where she married the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson in 1994.
Other high-profile marriages of Presley include one to actor Nicolas Cage and guitar player Michael Lockwood.
According to TMZ, Presley was just seen at the Golden Globes on Tuesday evening in Beverly Hills. She and her mother arrived hand in hand and watched actor Austin Butler win an award for his portrayal of her father Elvis Presley in the film Elvis.
The 54-year-old has four children which include actress Riley Keough, twin girls Harper and Finley Lockwood, and son Benjamin Keough, who reportedly died by suicide in 2020.
The outlet added that Presley owned and operated Elvis Presley Enterprises until 2005 when she sold it off. However, Lisa Marie Presley was still the owner of Graceland, her father’s “famed Memphis estate.”
Our prayers are with the entire Presley family during this time.
