In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Nicolas Cage, said, “This is devastating news. Lisa had the greatest laugh of anyone I ever met. She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken. I find some solace believing she is reunited with her son Benjamin.”

Lisa Marie’s son, Benjamin Keough, died in July 2020 after committing suicide at the age of 27. She has three other children, including actress Riley Keough and fraternal twin girls Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love.

“Oh, this one hurts my heart. Lisa Marie, you were one of a kind,” wrote singer P!NK in a heartfelt Instagram post. “Funny as s**t, 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.”

I had the chance to know @Cilla_Presley when I was on Dancing With the Stars and as a mother, I can’t imagine the pain she must be going through with the untimely passing of Lisa Marie. I have the image of little Lisa Marie growing up. RIP Lisa Marie Presley

So sad about Lisa Marie Presley. Oddly I was just at Graceland yesterday and took this picture. 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.🕊️ pic.twitter.com/KvHOmgt31F

I’m heartbroken over the passing of Lisa Marie Presley.

Lisa did not have an easy life, as some might think.

May she be at peace, resting with her son and father now.

Her mom Priscilla and her three daughters, Riley, Finley, and Harper, are in my prayers. pic.twitter.com/7Sb0DFjbZH

There is heartbreak and then there is sorrow. This would be sorrow and on more levels than I can count. Please send your prayers out for her family and children at this difficult time. I truly cannot find the words to express how sad this truly is. RIP @LisaPresley pic.twitter.com/Iac6b1gbIt
