Priscilla Presley marked late daughter Lisa Marie Presley‘s birthday on Wednesday by promising to protect her three grandchildren and keeping the family together.
The Presley matriarch spoke to Page Six on what would have been Lisa Marie Presley’s 55th birthday.
‘Today would have been Lisa’s 55th birthday. My wish is to protect my three grandchildren and keep our family together.’
‘From the first moment I held Lisa in my arms, I’ve protected, loved and guided her, as I have my son. Our hearts are broken, and I am having to learn how to live without my only daughter,’ she said to the outlet.
‘We truly love all of you, and we feel your prayers. Thank you so much for caring so deeply for our family.’

Lisa Marie died on January 12, 2023 at age 54 – two days after making an appearance at the Golden Globes.
She was laid to rest at Graceland late January.
Lisa Marie’s estate was put into a trust following her passing.
The public statement about her desire to protect her family comes after Priscilla, 77, filed legal documents to set aside an amendment to Lisa Marie’s trust she made in 2010 – claiming she was pushed out as a trustee.
Priscilla claims Lisa Marie’s signature is ‘inconsistent’ and says her name was spelled wrong.
The amendment changed the executors of her estate from Priscilla and former business manager Barry Siegel to Lisa Marie’s kids Riley Keough, 33, and the late Ben Keough.
Ben committed suicide in 2020 at the age of 27 – making Riley the sole inheritor of Lisa Marie’s estate if the amendment is not made invalid.
The former wife of rock n’ roll legend Elvis Presley also claimed it was never delivered to her.
