Hours after Lisa Marie was placed in an induced coma and put on life support in the intensive care unit, her mother, Priscilla Presley, announced the singer-songwriter's death via a statement to news outlets.

Hollywood stars and social media users took to Twitter and Instagram to pay tribute to Lisa Marie and send their condolences to her family.

Leah Remini wrote: "I'm heartbroken over the passing of Lisa Marie Presley. Lisa did not have an easy life, as some might think. May she be at peace, resting with her son and father now. Her mom Priscilla and her three daughters, Riley, Finley and Harper, are in my prayers."

John Travolta posted a photo of his dear friend to Instagram and sent all his "love" to her mother Priscilla and three children.

"Lisa, baby girl, I'm so sorry. I'll miss you, but I know I'll see you again," the actor captioned the snap. "My love and heart goes out to Riley, Priscilla, Harper and Finley."

LeAnn Rimes tweeted that she hopes Lisa Marie is finally at "peace" with her father and son Benjamin, who died by suicide at age 27 in 2020.

"How heartbreaking," the singer wrote. "I hope she is at peace in her dad's arms. My heart goes out to her family. Too much grief in just a couple of years."

Octavia Spencer also sent her love to Lisa Marie's family. "So sad that we've lost another bright star in Lisa Marie Presley," the Oscar-winning actress wrote. "My condolences to her loved ones and multitude of fans."

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan joined the stars in remembering Lisa Marie, writing on Twitter: "There is heartbreak and then there is sorrow. This would be sorrow and on more levels than I can count. Please send your prayers out for her family and children at this difficult time. I truly cannot find the words to express how sad this truly is."

Pink remembered Lisa Marie as a "one of a kind" in an emotional Instagram tribute.

"Oh, this one hurts my heart. Lisa Marie, you were one of a kind. Funny as s–t, smart as a whip, sensitive, talented, witty, mean, loving, generous, judgmental but always right, loyal, and you adored your children." she wrote alongside a picture of the two of them. "My heart breaks for you and your beautiful family and your children. The world lost a rare gem today. May your soul rest in peace, friend."

"The Academy is mourning the loss of Lisa Marie Presley. Her family's legacy continues to shape all genres of music, and we remember her own acclaimed career as a singer-songwriter. Join us in sending love and healing to the Presley family and fans everywhere," the official Twitter account of the Academy of Country Music Awards tweeted.

In her statement announcing her daughter's death Thursday, Lisa Marie's mother Priscilla said, "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."

Lisa Marie's heart stopped several times after she was transported to the ICU Thursday, unnamed sources told Page Six.

There appeared to be no drugs on the scene of her medical emergency, according to the outlet. The cause of death has yet to be announced.

Two days before her death, Lisa Marie and her mom attended the Golden Globes 2023 ceremony, where the singer crashed Austin Butler and his sister Ashley Butler's red-carpet interview.

Lisa Marie said she attended the ceremony to show support for Butler, Baz Lurhmann and "Elvis," their biopic film about her late father.
