Riley Keough has shared her first post since her mom Lisa Marie Presley's sudden death one week ago.

The 54-year-old - who was the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley - had been taken to hospital on Thursday (January 12) after suffering an alleged cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.

As previously reported, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles (LA) County's fire department revealed that paramedics were called around 10:40AM to a report of a woman in full cardiac arrest.

Lisa Marie's former partner, Danny Keough, had reportedly administered CPR before paramedics arrived on the scene, having rushed to her aid after she was found unresponsive in her bedroom.

Following her passing, her mother, Priscilla, stated to PEOPLE: "It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. 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 the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment."

Lisa Marie left behind three daughters - 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley, and 33-year-old actress Riley Keough. Keough - who was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the TV series The Girlfriend Experience - has now taken to Instagram to pay a sweet tribute to her mom following her death last week.

The post was an image of Keough as a child with her mother, and the caption was simply a red heart emoji.

In 2020, Lisa Marie sadly lost her only son, 27-year-old Benjamin Keough, to suicide. As any parent, she struggled with grief in the wake of the tragedy.

In August last year, the mom penned an essay about what she'd learned in the two years since his passing for PEOPLE, in honor of National Grief Awareness Day.

"Death is part of life whether we like it or not - and so is grieving," she wrote. "I've dealt with death, grief and loss since the age of 9 years old. I've had more than anyone's fair share of it in my lifetime and somehow, I've made it this far.

"But this one, the death of my beautiful, beautiful son? The sweetest and most incredible being that I have ever had the privilege of knowing, who made me feel so honored every single day to be his mother? Who was so much like his grandfather on so many levels that he actually scared me? Which made me worry about him even more than I naturally would have? No," Lisa Marie continued.

She added: "It's a real choice to keep going, one that I have to make every single day and one that is constantly challenging to say the least ... But I keep going for my girls. I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind. He absolutely adored them and they him."

Our thoughts continue to go out to the Presley family at this time.
