"My beautiful beautiful angel, I worshipped the ground you walked on, on this earth and now in Heaven," she wrote on Instagram after his death. "My heart and soul went with you. The depth of the pain is suffocating and bottomless without you every moment of every day."

She continued to post messages about him after his passing. Lisa Marie is survived be her daugther, Riley Keough, and twins Harper and Finley.
