Priscilla Presley is sharing her grief on the one-year anniversary of her daughter's death.
On Friday, Jan. 12, the 78-year-old businesswoman took to X (formerly Twitter) to pen a loving note for her late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
In a message to her followers, Priscilla noted, "Today is a very solemn day. It’s been a year since your passing and not a day goes by where I don’t think about and miss you. Rest in peace, Lisa. You are in the arms of your beloved father now. Only that… gives me comfort. Mom."
Lisa Marie, the only child from Priscilla's marriage to Elvis Presley, passed away at age 54 in January 2023. The singer's untimely passing was caused by complications from a small bowel obstruction.
The "Lights Out" singer's last public appearance occurred at the 2023 Golden Globes, where she celebrated Elvis' many nominations and eventual win for star Austin Butler, who played the late King of Rock 'n' Roll in the Baz Luhrmann-directed film.
However, Lisa Marie's health already began to decline at the Hollywood event, which took place on Jan. 10, 2023. Priscilla told Piers Morgan back in November, "She didn't look well that night, and I was concerned."
She continued, "She asked Jerry Schilling, one of my best friends, if he could hold her. Her heels were high, and she's worn them before, and I thought, 'Is she OK?' She didn't really look that OK, she looked very frail."
Lisa Marie is survived by her aforementioned mother, daughter Riley Keough, 34, and twins Finley and Harper Lockwood, 15. She was predeceased by her son, Benjamin.
Riley also paid tribute to the late artist, sharing a sweet throwback photo alongside a heart emoji on Instagram.
In response to the loving update, actress Linda Thompson commented, "Your mother loved you, your brother and your sisters fiercely and devotedly… death does not rob us of that love, nor our memories. I have the best recollections of your beautiful mother from the time she was 4 1/2. She was extraordinarily special, but you already know that. I loved her then, now, and always. My thoughts & my heart are with you…??????."
