Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, has been rushed to the hospital, her family shared Thursday. According to multiple reports, she is being treated for suspected cardiac arrest.

Presley's mother, Priscilla, confirmed the news in a statement on social media: “My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital. She is now receiving the best care,” she said. “Please keep her and our family in your prayers. We feel the prayers from around the world, and ask for privacy during this time.”

Presley, 54, is in critical condition and in a medically induced coma, according to TMZ, the first to report her hospitalization. Earlier, TMZ reported that paramedics regained a pulse after giving CPR and administering epinephrine to Presley at the scene.

The singer collapsed with breathing trouble in what was characterized as a cardiac episode to the Los Angeles Times.

While not naming the person in question, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Veronica Fantom confirmed to USA TODAY that deputies responded to an assistance request from fire department personnel "in the city of Calabasas, for a female adult approximately 55 years old (who) was not breathing."

Paramedics were dispatched at 10:37 a.m. local time following a report of a woman in full cardiac arrest, country fire department spokesman Craig Little told AP. Property records indicate Presley is a resident at the address.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for the Presley family and Elvis Presley Enterprises for details. A representative for Lisa Marie had no comment when contacted by USA TODAY.

Presley attended Tuesday's Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, along with Priscilla Presley. Both were on had to watch Austin Butler, who played her father in the 2022 Baz Luhrmann biopic "Elvis," win best actor in a drama.

Shortly before TMZ broke the news on Thursday, Priscilla Presley posted a photo of Butler on Instagram, praising his performance. The post made no mention of Lisa Marie's health concerns.

"My heartfelt congratulations to @austinbutler for the Golden Globe award for best actor. It was much deserved," Presley wrote. "He studied Elvis for 2 years and simply became him in his performance. I’m so proud of you, Austin. I only wish that the genius that Baz Luhrmann captured was also recognized."

Presley was in attendance at Elvis' home Graceland in Memphis this past Sunday to help fans celebrate what would have been her father's 88th birthday.

“It’s been a while. I missed you," she told the gathered crowd. "I keep saying you’re the only people that can bring me out of my house. I’m not kidding."

Lisa Marie Presley grew up in the shadow of her father's fame – her name even adorning her dad's jet – until her parents' divorce in 1973. She seemed destined to lead a life in the public eye, thanks to both looks that mirrored those of her father as well as a notable singing voice to match.

She made pop culture waves in 1994 when she divorced musician Danny Keough, with whom she has two children, Riley and Benjamin, and married music superstar Michael Jackson. Less than two years later, they divorced. She was married to actor and Elvis aficionado Nicolas Cage from 2002 to 2004.

In 2006, she married guitarist Michael Lockwood; they officially divorced in 2021 and have twin daughters together, Finley and Harper, 11.

In an interview with USA TODAY in 2012, Presley spoke of feeling emotionally and fiscally robbed by her closest confidants.

"I was slowly starting to self-destruct, and I didn't know where that was coming from," said Presley, and suggested the damage was both personal and professional. "I got bad advice. I was insulated with no grip on reality. They were taking my soul, my money, my everything."

Presley's demons also included drug addiction. In 2019, she detailed her dependence on opioids in a foreword to the book "The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain."

Noting that she felt "grateful to be alive," Presley said painkillers prescribed after the birth of her twins eventually led to a full-blown addiction.

"It's a difficult path to overcome this dependence, and to put my life back together," she wrote. "Even in recent years, I have seen too many people I loved struggle with addiction and die tragically from this epidemic. It is time for us to say goodbye to shame about addiction. We have to stop blaming and judging ourselves and the people around us. … That starts with sharing our stories."

Presley would be forced to confront a different kind of pain in 2020, when her son Benjamin, 27, died by suicide. This past fall, in honor of National Grief Awareness day, Presley wrote an essay for People about the pain her family has dealt with since the incident.

“My and my three daughters’ lives as we knew it were completely detonated and destroyed by his death. We live in this every. Single. Day,” she wrote. “Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe. You do not ‘get over it,’ you do not ‘move on,’ period.”
