“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, reported AP. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”
The development came hours after Priscilla Presley announced that Lisa Marie Presley was hospitalised.
A team of Los Angeles County paramedics was dispatched to her home in Calabasas in California following the report of her cardiac arrest, Craig Little, a spokesperson for the county’s fire department, told AP.
