Celebrities are taking to social media to mourn the loss of Lisa Marie Presley, who died of apparent cardiac arrest on Thursday after being hospitalized. Elvis Presley’s only child was 54.
“Lisa baby girl I’m so sorry,” John Travolta wrote on Instagram. “I will miss you, but I know I will see you again. My love and heart goes out to Riley, Priscilla, Harper and Finley.”
Bette Midler tweeted that she was “in shock.”
“So beautiful and only 54 years old; I can’t,” she added.
Fashion designer Donatella Versace wrote on Instagram that she “will never forget” the times she shared with Presley.
“Your beauty and your kindness shone so brightly,” she continued. “We will never forget you”
Linda Thompson, who dated Elvis Presley for about four years in the 1970s, wrote that her “heart is too heavy for words…”
“I am heartbroken at the death of Lisa Marie Presley,” wrote Leah Remini. “Lisa did not have an easy life, as some might think.”
Remini added that she hopes Presley is “at peace” and “now resting with her son and father.” Presley’s father Elvis died of a heart attack in 1977 at the age of 42, and her son Benjamin Keough died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.
“Her mother Priscilla and her three daughters Riley, Finley and Harper are in my prayers,” Remini continued.

Singer Shaun Cassidy wrote that he sends “all our love and prayers to” Presley’s mother, Priscilla Presley, and her family.
Singer LeAnn Rimes called the news “heartbreaking”.
“I hope she is at peace in her father’s arms,” Rimes added. “My heart goes out to her family. Too much grief in just a few years.”
Actor Cary Elwes remembered Presley as “a sweet and gentle soul.”
“We extend our deepest, sincere condolences to Priscilla, Riley and their family and friends,” he added. “Heartbreakingly sad.”
Songwriter Diane Warren called Presley’s death “such terrible news.”
“The whole world is sending love and prayers to Priscilla and Lisa Marie’s children right now,” Warren added.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan described the devastation he feels at the loss of Presley.
“There’s heartbreak and then there’s grief,” he wrote. “This would be sadness and on more levels than I can count. Please send your prayers for her family and children at this difficult time. I really can’t find the words to express how sad this really is. RIP.”
Charlie Daniels, Jr., son of the famous country music artist of the same name, wrote: “Mom and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Lisa Marie Presley. Our prayers are with her mother and her loved ones.
“So sad to have lost another bright star in Lisa Marie Presley,” wrote Oscar winner Octavia Spencer. “My condolences to her loved ones and a multitude of fans.”
Lisa Lange, senior vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, recalled Presley as “a friend of animals” in a statement to USA TODAY.
“When she learned that an Elvis impersonator had named a chimpanzee after her and was exploiting it for profit, she successfully partnered with PETA to release her namesake to a sanctuary,” Lange said. “And she didn’t stop there: At the onset of the pandemic, when animal shelters were in dire need of foster families, Lisa Marie and her twin daughters set a wonderful example by opening their homes and hearts to two dogs.”
Lange added, “Although the ‘Lights Out’ singer has passed away, her bright vision for animals will continue to inspire us all at PETA.”
