Austin Butler has paid tribute to Lisa Marie Presley following her sudden death at age 54.
On January 12, TMZ reported that the singer-songwriter collapsed after a suspected cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California, and was given CPR by her ex-husband Danny Keough - who also lives on the property - until paramedics arrived.
Lisa Marie was then rushed to a hospital, with her 77-year-old mother, Priscilla Presley, taking to social media to ask for prayers and ensure fans that her daughter was "receiving the best care".
Tragically, the mother confirmed through an emotional statement obtained by People that her only daughter with the late musician Elvis Presley has passed away.
Providing a statement to the outlet, Priscilla said: "It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. 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. At this time there will be no further comment," she added.
The 'So Lovely' singer's death stunned people as just two days before, she had attended the Golden Globes to champion 31-year-old actor for his role as her late father in Baz Luhrmann's critically acclaimed biopic, Elvis.

"Lisa Marie was so honest and direct, vulnerable, in a state of anticipation about the movie," she added. "She spoke so eloquently about her father, what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her dad."
"Our hearts and our prayers go out to Riley, Harper, Finley, Danny @nava_rone, and Priscilla. A mother should never have to lose a child. Lisa Marie lost her precious son Benjamin, Priscilla loses her only daughter. It’s too much. Sending love to the family, prayers for peace and strength," they added.
