“I also want to thank our incredible producers, and Warner Brothers, and Presley family. Thank you guys, thank you for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me,” Butler said.

“Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever.”

Her appearance on the Red Carpet was the last public sighting of the singer before her death on Friday.

The 54-year-old was in the intensive care unit on life support with a temporary pacemaker, and placed in an induced coma, before she passed away.

Emergency medical technicians reportedly performed CPR at her home in Calabasas, California, and paramedics were able to regain a pulse before Presley was taken to hospital, TMZ reported.

The celebrity outlet also reported that Presley’s housekeeper found the singer-songwriter unresponsive in her bedroom, and ex-husband Danny Keough performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

Presley released three albums during her life: her debut album To Whom It May Concern reached number five on the Billboard 200 albums chart in 2003.

She was the mother of four children, including actress Riley Keough who was in the 2015 hit Mad Max: Fury Road, directed by Australian George Miller. Her son Benjamin Keough died in 2020.
