Lisa Marie recently attended the Golden Globes awards with her mother to support Austin Butler and the team behind the 2022 film Elvis.
Butler won the award for Best Actor in a Drama, Motion Picture and he gave a shoutout to the Presleys for their support during filming.
"The Presley family, thank you guys for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me," he said.
"Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever."

“And lastly, Elvis Presley himself. You were an icon and a rebel and I love you so much. You are remembered, and I will never forget," Butler said.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Lisa said she was blown away by Austin's portrayal of her father.
"I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it," she said.
"I had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so incredible and so spot on and just so authentic that, yeah, I can't even describe what it meant."
