Tributes have begun to come in for singer-songwriter and only child of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie. Many noted her kindness and the tragedy she had to endure in her very public lifetime, which included her son's death in 2020.
In addition to her mother Priscilla, many also gave public condolences to Lisa's daughter, actress Riley Keough. Keough told People Magazine in December that her mother was her inspiration for her upcoming role as the titular Daisy in Amazon's Daisy Jones and the Six.
Lisa Marie also leaves behind 14 year old twins, Harper and Finley.
So sad that we’ve lost another bright star in Lisa Marie Presley. My condolences to her loved ones and multitude of fans. - octavia spencer (@octaviaspencer) January 13, 2023
Utterly devastated to learn of the hideously premature death of a surprisingly sweet, fierce, generous, talented and painfully vulnerable Lisa Marie Presley. I will treasure you always in my heart girl. Thank you for your kindness. May you now be granted peace. Sx - Garbage (@garbage) January 13, 2023
I’m heartbroken over the passing of Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa did not have an easy life, as some might think.
May she be at peace, resting with her son and father now.
There is heartbreak and then there is sorrow. This would be sorrow and on more levels than I can count. Please send your prayers out for her family and children at this difficult time. I truly cannot find the words to express how sad this truly is. RIP @LisaPresleypic.twitter.com/Iac6b1gbIt - William Patrick Corgan (@Billy) January 13, 2023
So sad about Lisa Marie Presley. Oddly I was just at Graceland yesterday and took this picture. The guide was telling us that sometimes she would have dinners in the dining room, and once she had a party for her friends in the plane named after her. Rip sweet soul.🕊️ pic.twitter.com/KvHOmgt31F - Jennifer Tilly (@JenniferTilly) January 13, 2023

Got home late from seeing a show to hear the tragic news about Lisa Marie Presley. I had only met her a few times briefly. But I have to admit I felt a kinship with her. Not many people know what it’s like. I know she was a special person. My heart aches for Priscilla. - Seán Ono Lennon (@seanonolennon) January 13, 2023

Every now and then I find myself wishing very hard that there is a hereafter and tonight is one of those times. Otherwise the nothingness, the emptiness are too hard to bear. 💙💔💙 - Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) January 13, 2023
This is just so so sad. I saw Lisa Marie Presley 2 nights ago at the Golden Globes where she was celebrating the film Elvis. This family has endured so much trauma. My heart goes out to Priscilla & the lovely Riley Keough who has just lost her mom... https://t.co/6EcZJRtAAc - Elizabeth Wagmeister (@EWagmeister) January 13, 2023
Sad news 2 hear of #LisaMariePresley passing .. she was very loving 2 me, in Memphis in the 90’s she gave me a viewing of the private sections of Graceland which was very special. She was very lovely & we performed together at NYFW early 2000’s. RIP pic.twitter.com/pdJOKpe1Rd - Billy Idol (@BillyIdol) January 13, 2023

Our hearts are extra heavy having just had Lisa in Memphis this Sunday celebrating Elvis’ birthday and meeting fans.

Brutal for so many reasons, but, man, my heart goes out to Riley Keough - Esther Zuckerman (@ezwrites) January 13, 2023
Ex-husband Michael Lockwood:
“Michael had been hoping for a speedy and complete recovery because her children needed her. It is very sad it didn’t turn out that way,” Lockwood’s attorney Joe Yanny said. “Michael’s world has been turned on its ear. He is with both of his daughters now.”
Yanny added that Lockwood’s prayers are with Priscilla Presley and the rest of the Presley family.
