Tom Hanks and his wife Rita, who both worked on the Elvis biography, acknowledged Lisa’s “eloquent” depiction of her father and “what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her father” in a lengthy statement.
Rita described Lisa Marie as “extremely honest and straightforward, vulnerable, and in a state of anticipation about the film.”
“She made Graceland feel like home to us by showing us around individually.”
“Lisa baby girl, I’m sorry,” John Travolta tweeted. “Although I’ll miss you, I’m sure I’ll see you again. I’m sending my love to Riley, Priscilla, Harper, and Finley.”
Donnatella Versace wrote with a photo of herself and Lisa Marie, “I will never forget the times we spent together.” “Your beauty and kindness shone brilliantly. Rest in peace, Lisa Marie. We will never forget you.”
Pink hailed Lisa Marie as “one of a kind, hilarious as [expletive], clever as a whip, sensitive, talented, witty, cruel, kind, kind, judgmental but always right, loyal, and you adored your children” in a heartfelt statement.
