Riley Keough has posted a picture of the last time she saw her mother, the late Lisa Marie Presley.
Presley, the only daughter of acclaimed musician Elvis Presley, died suddenly on January 12 aged 54, leading to an outpouring of grief and love from around the world.
The singer’s death was confirmed by her mother, Priscilla, after she was rushed to hospital following a cardiac arrest.
On Tuesday, Riley shared a gorgeous snap of the last time she spent time with Presley.
In the picture, The Daisy Jones & The Six actress is sporting a sparkly crop top while Presley is wearing a black suit jacket.
She captioned the post: ‘I feel blessed to have a photo of the last time I saw my beautiful mama. Grateful @georgieflores took this. ❤️.’
Riley spoke for the first time since Presley died ahead of the public memorial on Sunday, posting a childhood snap on Instagram.
In the black-and-white upload, she could be seen gazing lovingly up at her late mom while holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
The Zola actress simply captioned the post with a red love heart, as fans flooded the comments below with support.
At the Graceland memorial, which was attended by Elvis actor Austin Butler, an emotional poem written by Riley was read out, in which she revealed she had also quietly welcomed a child.
Her eulogy read: ‘I hope I can love my daughter that way you loved me. The way you love my brother and my sisters. Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humour.
‘My manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart. My sisters are a product of your heart. My brother is a product of your heart.
‘We are you. You are us, my eternal love. I hope you finally know how loved you were here. Thank you for trying so hard for us. If I didn’t tell you every day, thank you.’

Ahead of the burial, Benjamin’s resting place was moved slightly, so his mother could be next to him.
The family’s tombs are all located around the mansion’s famous backyard fountain, including that of Jailhouse Rock singer, Elvis.
