Priscilla confirmed her daughter’s death, stating: «With a heavy heart, I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us». The statement also read: «She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for your love and prayers. There will be no further comments at this time».
