Warner Bros, whose Elvis Presley biopic Elvis has been near the top of the conversation this awards season, on Friday reacted to the death of Lisa Marie Presley.

The only child of the King of Rock and Roll died Thursday at age 54 after being rushed to the hospital earlier in the day. Lisa Marie Presley has been a staple on the awards circuit this year to support Elvis, which stars Austin Butler and is directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Just this week she was part of Elvis’ 88th birthday celebration at a studio event at Formosa Cafe in L.A., and then attended Tuesday’s Golden Globes. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lisa Marie Presley and send our condolences and sympathy to her children, family and people around the world who loved her,” Warner Bros said in a statement. “She was an invaluable partner and truly lovely person whom we will remember as a devoted mother, beloved daughter, and loving friend.” Presley was rushed to the hospital Thursday from her Calabasas, CA home after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest.

Her mother Priscilla Presley and daughter Riley Keough joined her at the hospital, where she had been in critical condition and in a medically induced coma.
