Lisa Marie Presley has been pictured out in Los Angeles, three days after the suicide of her 27-year-old son, Benjamin Keough. 

The grief-stricken mom, 52, donned a black face mask and shielded her eyes behind dark sunglasses as she left a Beverly Hills hotel with her late son’s girlfriend, Diana Pinto, on Wednesday. 

Lisa Marie has reportedly been holed up inside the hotel since Benjamin took his own life at the family’s $1.8 million mansion in Calabasas Sunday morning. 

The musician is said to be inconsolable over her son’s death, with the pair known to have been extremely close. 

Lisa Marie appears to be leaning on Diana in the midst of her heartbreak, with the two seen holding hands as they left the hotel together on Wednesday.  

Diana was at home at the time Benjamin killed himself, with her allegedly telling police she was worried Lisa Marie would ‘blame her’ and ‘hate her’ for failing to stop the suicide.

However, there appears to be no signs of discord, with Lisa Marie and Diana united in their grief. 

On Wednesday’s outing, the daughter of Elvis Presley kept her head down and concealed part of her face with her long blonde hair. 

She covered her frame in a loose gray sweater and faded jeans. 

Meanwhile, Diana looked similarly heartbroken, and avoided eye contact with photographers as she walked to an awaiting car.  

Benjamin was Lisa Marie’s only son, and she described him as ‘the love of her life’. 

In 2009, the pair got matching tattoos, and, in 2012, Lisa Marie penned a song about Benjamin, titled Storm And Grace. 

Lyrics include the lines: ‘You are the most beautiful man that I’ve ever known, Too much to offer and too much held close to the bone.

‘You have the most beautiful heart that I’ve ever known, It kills me you can’t ever show it and a shell has been grown’.

In an old interview, Lisa Marie also gushed over Benjamin’s striking resemblance to her famous father.  

‘Ben does look so much like Elvis. He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage. Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny,’ she stated. 

Meanwhile, Benjamin had been dating Diana Pinto for at least a year, with the couple sharing several loved up selfies to social media.  

Diana was at home on Sunday night, when Benjamin had locked himself in a bathroom of the five bed, three-bathroom luxury property and took his own life. 

DailyMail.com revealed Monday that neighbors heard a woman screaming ‘don’t do it’ at around 3.30am Sunday. It’s believed that scream came from Diana. 

Neighbors said people were partying at the home at 1am and heard screams around 3.30am. They noted police showed up to the home hours later around 6am.

Diana was interviewed by police, with a neighbor explaining: ‘She was pretty hysterical saying ”I can’t believe it.” She just kept swearing and saying, ”I can’t believe it… I can’t believe he would do that to himself.”

‘She said, ”the family’s going to hate me” and ”they’re going to blame me.” I think she was feeling guilty for it happening.’

Benjamin was the second child of Lisa Marie and her first husband, musician Danny Keough. 

Lisa Marie and Danny tied the knot in 1988 and welcomed daughter, Riley, the following year. 

Benjamin was born in 1992 – two years before Lisa Marie and Danny divorced. 

Lisa Marie went on to have short-lived marriages with Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, before she wed her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood in 2006. 

The couple welcomed twin daughters, Finley and Harper, in 2008. They split in 2016.    

After news of the death emerged, bereaved Lisa Marie’s representative told DailyMail.com: ‘She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life. 

Benjamin’s sister, actress and model Riley Keough, has embraced the limelight from her famous family, starring in Magic Mike, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Starz TV show The Girlfriend Experience. But little was publicly known about her more reclusive brother.

Riley, 31, told UK newspaper The Guardian that she and Benjamin had a mixed upbringing, split between their mother’s lavish and star-studded lifestyle and their father’s modest living.

‘I grew up very privileged with my mother, but my dad didn’t live like that. And I think experiencing both sides has been helpful,’ Riley said in the 2017 interview. ‘My father had mattresses on the floor of his apartments. He lived in cabins and trailer parks. He just didn’t have much money.

‘When I was like eight I told him, ”I want to grow up and be poor like you!” He was eating a bowl of cereal. I didn’t realize how wildly offensive that was!’
