John Travolta and Leah Remini leads celebrity tributes to Lisa Marie Presley after her death

Celebrity tributes poured in on Thursday following news that Lisa Marie Presley had died aged 54 after suffering ‘full cardiac arrest’ at her Calabasas home Thursday.

John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Tom’s wife Rita Wilson and actress Leah Remini were among the stars who expressed their heartbreak on social media.

‘Lisa baby girl, I’m so sorry. I’ll miss you but I know I’ll see you again. My love and heart goes out to Riley, Priscilla, Harper and Finley,’ wrote the Grease star, who included a stunning portrait of Lisa Marie.

In a tweet, Leah Remini hoped that Lisa Marie is now ‘at peace resting with her son and father.’

Lisa Marie’s famous father Elvis Presley died of a heart attack in 1977 at the age of 42, while her late son Benjamin Keough, 27, died by suicide in July 2020. 

‘I’m heartbroken over the passing of Lisa Marie Presley,’ Remini began. ‘Lisa did not have an easy life as some may think.’

The King Of Queens star concluded her post by writing that Lisa Marie’s ‘mom Priscilla, her three daughters Riley, Finley and Harper, are in my prayers.’

In a joint statement shared to Instagram, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson wrote their ‘hearts are broken with the sudden and shocking passing of Lisa Marie Presley tonight.’

The couple formed a close bond with the Presleys while promoting Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic in which Tom starred as music manager Colonel Tom Parker and actor Austin Butler portrayed the King of Rock and Roll.

‘Tom and I had spent some time with the family during the Elvis movie promotional tour,’ she wrote, adding that ‘Lisa Marie was so honest and direct, vulnerable, in a state of anticipation about the movie.

‘She spoke so eloquently about her father, what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her dad. She had her gorgeous daughters Finley and Harper with her who made us all laugh.’

Rita and Tom then revealed that Lisa Marie was ‘gracious’ enough to give them a private tour of Graceland and ‘she made it feel like home to us.’

The couple then urged fans to listen to Lisa Marie’s music as Rita described her ‘sultry voice’ as having ‘a power and tenderness, that I have always loved.’ 

‘Our hearts and our prayers go out to Riley, Harper, Finley , Danny 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. Love, Rita and Tom,’ the post concluded.

Actress Julliette Lewis voiced her shock over the death of her friend, noting that she was ‘unable to write about it at this moment.’

‘We shared huge turning points in our lives. She taught me so much about resilience… I was 23… Frozen summers… Shared music, Friends. I am unable to write about it at this moment. Love to the girls ❤️,’ she penned, adding: ‘In power LMP’

Leann Rimes called the sudden death ‘heartbreaking’ and, similarly to Remini, hoped the embattled star is ‘at peace in her dad’s arms.’

She continued: ‘My heart goes out to her family too. too much grief in just a couple of years.’

Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause re-posted footage of Lisa Marie taken at this year’s Golden Globes which took place ‘just 48 hours’ before her death.

‘So sad that we’ve lost another bright star in Lisa Marie Presley. My condolences to her loved ones and multitude of fans,’ penned Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer via Twitter.

Chucky star Jennifer Tilly said she is ‘so sad’ over Lisa Marie’s death and revealed that she was ‘just at Graceland yesterday’ where she snapped a photo of Elvis’ gravestone. 

The actress continued: ‘The guide was telling us that sometimes she would have dinners in the dining room, and once she had a party for her friends in the plane named after her. Rip sweet soul.’

Pink described Lisa Marie as ‘one of a kind’ along with being ‘funny as sh**, smart as a whip, sensitive, talented, witty, mean, loving, generous, judgmental but always right, loyal, and you adored your children.

‘My heart breaks for you and your beautiful family and your children. The world lost a rare gem today. May your soul rest in peace, friend,’ wrote the singer, who included a fun snap of herself beaming beside Lisa Marie. 

RHONJ star Teresa Giudice re-shared a fan account post that included a red carpet photo of Lisa Marie along with the text: ‘Rest In Power [heart emoji]’ 

Real Housewives Of Miami star Lisa Hochstein shared ‘Rip’ to her Instagram Story.

Designer Donatella Versace said she will ‘never forget the time’ she spent with Lisa Marie.

‘Your beauty and kindness shone so bright. Rest in peace Lisa Marie. We will never forget you,’ the fashion figure concluded.

Earlier on Thursday, Presley was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and was said to be in a coma following a ‘full cardiac arrest’ shortly after she had been complaining about stomach pains, according to TMZ.

Her mother Priscilla, who was at her daughter’s side, said in a statement: ‘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,’ the statement continued.

Presley’s death comes just two days after she was pictured with her mom at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hills Hilton where Austin Butler won a Best Actor award for his portrayal of her father in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.

Sources told TMZ that Presley was found unresponsive in her bedroom by her housekeeper and that her ex-husband, Danny Keough, who she has been living with, performed CPR until paramedics arrived at the house.

The source added that ‘someone administered epinephrine’ – more commonly known as adrenaline – at the scene at least one time in order to help Presley regain a pulse.

According to the Mayo Clinic, stomach pain is a symptom of cardiac arrest in women

Epinephrine, or adrenaline, is administered to treat many life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrests, asthma attacks and allergic reactions.

LA County Sheriff’s Department told Dailymail.com: ‘Deputies from Lost Hills Station responded to an assistance request call LA County Fire, near the 9500 block of Normandy Drive in Calabasas regarding a female adult, approximately 55, for a medical emergency/female not breathing.

‘The female adult was transported by LA County Fire Department to a local area hospital where they were released to the hospital’s care’.

They would not confirm if the person was Lisa Marie, who will turn 55 next month, what hospital the individual was transported nor what was administered.

They told the Hollywood Reporter the fire department responded and was able to get a pulse on the female before she was transported to West Hills hospital.

Pictures of Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla, 77, rushing to hospital an hour after news broke of her daughter’s medical emergency have emerged.

She was seen making a quick dash to the entrance of the hospital where her only daughter was being treated to be by her side.

Lisa Marie is a singer and songwriter and has three children, including actress Riley Keough, 33.

Days before her death at 54 following a cardiac arrest, appeared to be unsteady while being interviewed on the red carpet at the 2023 Golden Globes, where she attended to support the film Elvis.

In the clip, Presley turned to her friend Jerry Schilling, 80, and said ‘I’m gonna grab your arm’ as she was asked questions ahead of the event by Extra host Billy Bush.

She appeared to talk slowly and slurred her words while responding to questions about the film’s star Austin Butler, the aspects of the role he mastered, and the storms and flooding in Southern California

Bush predicted ‘a wonderful night for Elvis’ in the beginning of the interview, in which Lisa stood next to longtime friend Schilling, a talent manager who worked closely with Elvis.

Bush asked her if she had gotten to know Butler, at which point she told Schilling ‘I’m gonna grab your arm’ and locked her right arm with Schilling’s left arm.

In the chat, Lisa said that she thought Butler nailed the ‘characteristics [and] the talking without doing it like in a caricature way like it’s been done in the past.’

She added, ‘It’s kind of done in sort of a funny, joking way, the way [Elvis] spoke, but Austin actually got it and did it perfectly without making it comical.’

Schilling noted Butler ‘didn’t overdo’ aspects of his performance as Elvis.

Bush asked Lisa if she had lived in the Montecito-Santa Barbara area – which was battered earlier this week by storms and flooding – and she said she ‘did at one point’, noting that the results of the storm were ‘really awful.’

The interview wrapped up with Lisa telling Bush that Butler was making his way down the entrance.
