Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, tragically passed away on Thursday.
The American singer-songwriter died after suffering a cardiac arrest, TMZ reports; her mother Priscilla confirmed the news in a statement to PEOPLE Magazine shortly after it was reported she had been taken to hospital.
Born to the King of Rock and Roll and his wife, Priscilla, Lisa Marie carved a name for herself in the entertainment world as not only a performer but also a philanthropist and doting mother.
In the hours after her death was announced many celebrities took to social media to mourn the loss, sharing their sadness and condolences with her family.
