"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," she confirmed in a statement to People. "She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers."

Lisa Marie shared daughter Riley Keough, 33, and late son Benjamin Keough with ex Danny Keough. She was also mom to 14-year-old twins Harper Lockwood and Finley Lockwood, whose dad is her ex Michael Lockwood

During Lisa Marie's memorial service at Graceland Jan. 22, her mom read aloud a message written by one of her granddaughters.

"I have no idea how to put my mother into words," the note stated. "Truth is, there are too many. Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to many people all over the world. But Mama was my icon, my role model, my superhero, in much more ways than one."

The letter continued, "Even now, I can't get across everything there is to be understood or known about her, but as she always said, ‘I'll do my best.'"
