Ms Presley was unconscious when her housekeeper discovered her at her home in Calabasas, an affluent Los Angeles suburb, on Thursday morning, according to the website.

She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I know, saluted her mother in her statement to the People website, asking that the family’s privacy be respected and thanking fans for their love and prayers.

Without confirming the patient’s identity, the Los Angeles Fire Department told the press that its teams attended to a woman in her 50s who went into cardiac arrest shortly after 10:30 a.m.
The singer was seen with her mother at the Golden Globes ceremony Tuesday, which honored Austin Butler for his role in the movie Elvis.
The actor, whose larger-than-life incarnation of the rock ‘n’ roll legend was widely acclaimed, dedicated a word to the two women during his onstage speech.
Thank you for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie and Priscilla I love you forever he said.

Lisa Marie Presley was Elvis’ only child. She previously controlled Elvis Presley Enterprises but sold most of her stake to a private equity firm in 2005.
She retained control of Graceland, her father’s property in Memphis, Tennessee. He was found unconscious there in August 1977 before being hospitalized. His death was attributed to a heart attack.
His father’s toxicology reports revealed high levels of drugs in the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s system.
Lisa Marie Presley has released three albums throughout her career and is the mother of actress Riley Keough, known for her roles in independent films such as Magic Mike, American Honey and Zola.
In addition to Danny Keough, from whom she divorced in 1994, she was also married to Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson and songwriter Michael Lockwood.
