Riley Keough and grandmother Priscilla Presley reunited at the 75th Emmy Awards in downtown Los Angeles on Monday evening – months after settling their inheritance row over the late Lisa Marie Presley’s estate.
Keough, 34, and Presley, 78, appeared closer than ever as they embraced on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony – where Keough is nominated in the Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie category for Daisy Jones and The Six.
Keough looked sensational in a plunging black gown which revealed her ‘Benjamin Storm’ tattoo in honor of her late brother – who died by suicide aged 27 in 2020.
The dress featured a silver patterned skirt and sheer overlay, while Keough wore her raven locks in a half-updo.
Priscilla wore a black silk blouse and matching skirt as she embraced her granddaughter – just days after the one year anniversary of Lisa Marie’s tragic death aged just 54.

Following Lisa Marie’s death, Riley was named the sole trustee of the Presley family estate in August. This led to Priscilla filing a petition to challenge the validity of her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s will (pictured together 2015)

Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter recently unfortunately found herself embroiled in an inheritance row with grandmother.
Lisa Marie had three other children: fraternal twins, Harper and Finley, 15, and a son, Benjamin, who died in 2020.
Following Lisa Marie’s death, Riley was named the sole trustee of the Presley family estate in August.
This led to Priscilla filing a petition to challenge the validity of her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s will.
A judge finally settled this matter in November with Priscilla receiving $1 million lump-sum payments and the right to be buried next to Elvis.
The daughter of Elvis Presley was rushed to hospital on January 12 2023 after going into cardiac arrest – with an L.A. County Coroner report revealing the star died from sequelae (a condition which is the consequence of a previous disease or injury) of small bowel obstruction.
The bowel obstruction was in the form of strangulated small bowel, caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery (stomach stapling) many years prior.
The toxicology results also show Lisa had ‘therapeutic’ levels of Oxycodone in her blood, with a second opioid Buprenorphine – which is used to treat opioid dependence – also found.

Lisa Marie’s last public appearance at the Golden Globes came two days before her death, where she attended in support of the Baz Luhrmann film Elvis.
There were also traces of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic drug, reports TMZ.
The coroner states there was no ‘drug paraphernalia or narcotics’ found at her home and her urine toxicology screen was negative.
The report confirms Lisa had a cosmetic procedure a few months before her death and was prescribed opioids, with the star having a history of ‘overmedicating’ – forgetting she had taken her medication and then taking them again.
The reports also states the star had a ‘history of alcohol and drug abuse.’
