According to media reports, she had a cardiac arrest.

Her mother Priscilla Presley shared the news and said, 'It's with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.'

Sources told news outlet TMZ that the singer was found unresponsive at home in Calabasas, California.

She sought privacy as the family is trying to deal with this profound loss.

Her mother didn't reveal the cause of the death.

Sources close to Lisa Marie Presley told TMZ that she had suffered a ‘full arrest’ before a bystander administered epinephrine - commonly known as adrenaline - to help her regain a pulse.

Lisa Marie forged a career in music just like her father. She released three albums, with her 2003 debut studio album selling hundreds of thousands of copies and receiving generally positive reviews.

She was also well known for a series of high-profile marriages to pop legend Michael Jackson, actor Nicholas Cage and musicians Danny Keough and Michael Lockwood.
