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.

Actress Leah Remini paid tribute to Lisa on Facebook by posting a picture and writing:

"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."

Paramedics were called to Lisa's residence on Thursday after she suffered a cardiac arrest. She was found unresponsive in her bedroom and soon after, her ex-husband Danny Keough arrived home after dropping the kids off at school. Danny performed CPR until the paramedics arrived.

Lisa was given one epinephrine shot and was immediately hospitalized. She had been complaining about stomach pains since Thursday morning, which kept getting worse.
