On January 23, Priscilla took to social media to thank her fans for their support as she navigates the death of her only child and Elvis Presley.
“Thank you all for your condolences, you touched me with your words,” Priscilla wrote on Twitter.

The investigation into the cause of Lisa Marie’s death continues. She died on January 12 at the age of 54.
She was rushed to hospital after sheriff’s deputies responded to a “breathless call” from the musician’s home in Calabasas. Her mother was then seen entering the emergency room shortly after Lisa Marie arrived at the medical center.
