"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," her mother, Priscilla Presley, said in a statement.
"She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss."
Lisa Marie Presley suffered cardiac arrest on Thursday in her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, according to entertainment website TMZ. She was then taken to hospital.
She attended the Golden Globes awards show in Beverly Hills earlier this week, where actor Austin Butler won the best actor award for portraying her father in the film Elvis.
Butler paid tribute to Lisa Marie Presley and her mother during his acceptance speech.
Elvis Presley died of cardiac arrest in August 1977 at the age of 42.
Lisa Marie Presley was born on February 1, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee and became the owner of her father's Graceland mansion a popular tourist attraction in the city. She was nine years old when Elvis died there.

A third album, Storm and Grace, was released in 2012.
She was married four times. She wed pop star Michael Jackson in 1994, just 20 days after her divorce from her first husband, musician Danny Keough.
The high-profile couple divorced in 1996 as Jackson was battling child molestation allegations.
Presley married actor Nicholas Cage, a huge fan of her father, in 2002. Cage filed for divorce four months later.
Her fourth marriage was to her guitarist and music producer Michael Lockwood. Their divorce was finalised in 2021.
She had four children. Her only son, Benjamin Keough, himself a musician, died in 2020 at age 27, a death ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County coroner. Daughter Riley Keough, 33, is an actor.
