Earlier on Thursday, Presley was rushed to hospital in critical condition and was said to be in a coma following a ‘full cardiac arrest’ shortly after she had been complaining of stomach pains, according to TMZ.

Her mother Priscilla said in a statement: ‘It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.

Lisa Marie’s passing comes just two days after she was pictured with her mother at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, where Austin Butler won a Best Actor award for his portrayal of her father in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic Elvis.
