Riley Keough is back in Los Angeles following her mother Lisa Marie Presley ’s memorial service at Graceland.
The 33-year-old actress was seen getting off a private jet at Van Nuys Airport on Monday afternoon, carrying her baby daughter in her arms.
She Arrived On A Flight From Memphis
Keough arrived with her daughter and husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, on a flight from Memphis, where a memorial service was held the previous day for her late mother. She stepped off the plane wearing a camel-colored coat and a pair of shades. It was the first time her baby was seen in public.
Riley’s Daughter
Before Lisa’s memorial service, it wasn’t widely known that Riley gave birth to a daughter last year. The news was only revealed when Smith-Petersen read the eulogy that she wrote for her mother.
Overcome With Emotion
Apparently, Riley was supposed to speak during the memorial service, but she was so overcome with emotion that she had to ask her husband to read the eulogy for her.
‘A Letter to my Mama’
In her eulogy titled “A Letter to My Mama,” it was revealed that she was a mother and Lisa was a grandmother. It read in part, “Thank you for showing me love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters.”
