Just two days after Lisa Marie Presley was laid to rest at her father Elvis Presley's Graceland estate, her daughter Riley Keough has shared her last memory of her mother.

Though the actress was in attendance at the funeral on 22 January alongside her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, as well as Sarah Ferguson, Elvis actor Austin Butler, and more of the family's close friends, she had yet to speak out following her mother's sudden passing.

During the memorial service, both her husband and grandmother spoke on her behalf, with Ben confirming that the couple had secretly welcomed a baby girl, their first child together.

She also wrote a poem for her late mom, recited by Priscilla, which read: "She knew it was close to the end. Survivor's guilt, some would say, but a broken heart, is the doing of her death. Now she is home where she always belonged, but my heart is missing her love."
