“It’s like a large part of your life is taken away,” said Priscilla, who could be seen in a still photo from the interview — scheduled to air on Thursday — covering her face with her hand as she wept, according toThe Sun.
Priscilla recounted how Lisa Marie showed signs of not being well during their triumphant night out together to the Golden Globes, where actorAustin Butlerwon a Best Actor statuette for his portrayal of her late ex-husbandElvis Presleyin the biopicElvis.
“She didn’t look well that night, and I was concerned,” she recalled of their Jan. 7 outing to the awards ceremony. “She asked Jerry Schilling, one of my best friends, if he could hold her. Her heels were high, but she had worn them before, and I thought, ‘Is she OK?’ She didn’t really look that OK, she looked very frail.”
She continued, “Then we watched the show, and we had a few laughs, and we were all excited about Austin Butler and [director] Baz [Luhrmann], and the movie went so well, we were proud of them, then we started to go, and she said, ‘Mom, do you want to go to Chateau Marmont and have a drink?'”
When they arrived at the hotel, they enjoyed a little moment of levity together. “We both had our high heels on and both of us tripped on the staircase, and we started laughing and giggling,” Priscilla said.

However, Lisa Marie soon began experiencing severe abdominal pain. “We went and sat down, and she said, ‘Mom, I have to go, my stomach really hurts.’ I go, ‘Of course, are you OK?’ She goes, ‘Yes, yes, I just really have to go’. And I go, ‘OK, we will get the cars now,’ " she recounted.
“Then I hugged her, and she went her way, and I went mine, and that hug was the last hug I gave her,” she added.
Two days later, she received a phone call from Lisa Marie’s ex-husbandDanny Keough, informing her that Lisa Marie was in the hospital and that she should come immediately. Sadly, she was too late.

Priscilla made it clear that she loves her granddaughter and she is happy to see her oversee the family legacy into the future.
“I love her. We have always gotten along. It was a little bit of trying to figure out the will, like you normally do, but Riley and I have always been close,” she said.
