PINK, Octavia Spencer and Leah Remini are among the stars to have paid tribute to Lisa Marie Presley following her death.
The singer/songwriter – who was the daughter of music legend Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley – was rushed to hospital on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest but died later. She was 54.
Her friends and acquaintances in the entertainment world have taken to their social media channels to express their shock and sadness at the news.
Pink – who worked on a track called “Shine” on Lisa Marie’s 2005 album “Now What” – shared a photo of them together and wrote on Instagram: “Oh, this one hurts my heart. Lisa Marie, you were one of a kind.
“Funny as s***, 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. [broken heart emoji](sic)”
Like Pink, Remini said she was “heartbroken” by the news.
She tweeted: “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.

Spencer sent a message of support to Lisa Marie’s family and fans.
She posted: “So sad that we’ve lost another bright star in Lisa Marie Presley. My condolences to her loved ones and multitude of fans.”

She tweeted: “lisa marie presley… how heartbreaking. i hope she is at peace in her dad’s arms. my heart goes out to her family. too much grief in just a couple of years.(sic)"
Marlee Matlin expressed her sadness for the star’s mother.
She tweeted: “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.
