The singer
Lisa Marie Presley
, daughter of Elvis and ex-wife of Michael Jackson,
died this Thursday at the age of 54,
as confirmed by her mother, Priscilla Presley.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us
," her mother confirmed in a statement published in
People
magazine .
She had been hospitalized on Thursday morning after suffering a heart attack, according to several US media reports.
Elvis Presley's daughter had been induced into an artificial coma and was under respiratory assistance, according to the specialized entertainment portal
TMZ
, citing anonymous sources.
She was "unconscious" when her housekeeper found her at her home Thursday morning in Calabasas, a suburb of Los Angeles, according to the portal.
Her ex-husband, Danny Keough, who also lives on the property, gave her a heart massage until the ambulance arrived
and took her to the hospital.
Her mother had confirmed on Facebook that her daughter was ill.
"My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital," she wrote.
"She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I know
," her mother recalled in the statement, asking that the family's privacy be respected and thanking fans for their love and prayers.
Without confirming the identity of the patient, the Los Angeles Fire Department told reporters that its crews had treated a woman in her 50s who went into cardiac arrest shortly after 10:30 a.m. local time.
Just a few days ago, the singer attended the Golden Globes ceremony with her mother
, where they received a thank you from actor Austin Butler, who won best actor in a drama for his powerful performance in "Elvis."
Presley, a singer-songwriter, is the mother of three children, including Riley Keough, who gained notoriety for her acting skills on the series "The Girlfriend Experience" in 2016.
He followed in his father's footsteps and in 2003 he released his first album, "To Whom it May Concern", and this was followed by two more productions, but since 2012 he had not released any new album.
He controlled Elvis Presley Enterprises until he sold most of his shares to a partnership in 2005
.
Yet he retained control of Graceland, the property where his father was found unconscious in August 1977, before being transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead of cardiac arrest.
In addition to Keough, she was married to Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson, and Michael Lockwood
.
