Her death in a Los Angeles hospital was confirmed by her mother, Priscilla, a few hours after being rushed to the hospital.

“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. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known,” Kristin M. Hall and Hillel Italie reported for the Associated Press (AP).

Presley, the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, shared her father’s brooding charisma — the hooded eyes, the insolent smile, the low, sultry voice — and followed him professionally, releasing her own rock albums in the 2000s, and appearing on stage with Pat Benatar and Richard Hawley among others.

She even formed direct musical ties with her father, joining her voice to such Elvis recordings as “In the Ghetto” and “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.

Presley had two children, actor Riley Keough, born in 1989, and Benjamin Keough, born in 1992, with her former husband Danny Keough. Benjamin committed suicide when he was 27.

She also had twin daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood, with ex-husband Michael Lockwood in 2008. She was also married briefly to Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage, AP entertainment Writers Andrew Dalton and Ryan Pearson also reported.
