She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken. I find some solace believing she is reunited with her son Benjamin,” Nicolas told The Hollywood Reporter. Michael, who shared twin daughters Harper and Finley with Lisa, similarly grieved her passing. “Michael had been hoping for a speedy and complete recovery because her children needed her. It is very sad it didn’t turn out that way,” his attorney told Entertainment Tonight. “Michael’s world has been turned on its ear. He is with both of his daughters now.”
Lisa is expected to be laid to rest in Memphis, Tennessee with her father Elvis at his famed Graceland home, which now serves as a museum to the musician. She will be interred with her dad and son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020, per Entertainment Tonight.
