Priscilla Presley has asked fans to keep her daughter Lisa Marie in their prayers, after the 54-year-old was rushed to hospital.
Lisa is said to have been taken away in ambulance after paramedics performed CPR on Thursday at her home in Calabasas.
Sources added to TMZ that paramedics were ‘able to regain a pulse before she was transported’.
While her condition remains unclear, Priscilla, who was married to Elvis until 1973, has since issued a statement asking for privacy.
Her representatives told People: ‘My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital.
‘She is now receiving the best care. Please keep her and our family in your prayers.’

The 77-year-old continued: ‘We feel the prayers from around the world and ask for privacy at this time.’
Lisa and Priscilla both attended the Golden Globes on Tuesday in Beverly Hills, supporting Austin Butler who won an award for his portrayal of the King of Rock n Roll in biopic Elvis.

Priscilla met Elvis when she was just 14 and he was 25 in 1959 at a party in Germany, with the then young girl permanently moving in with the star four years later.
They married in 1967, welcoming Lisa just nine months later.
However, they divorced in 1972, although they remained close until his death in 1977.
