Despite years of tension and a strained relationship, Priscilla Presley is still right by her daughter Lisa Marie's side. As RadarOnline.com has reported, the 73-year-old is coming to the rescue of her and Elvis’ only child, who is locked in a costly custody battle with estranged husband Michael Lockwood over their two kids, and claims to be flat broke.

To help, mama Priscilla is selling her L.A. mansion, putting the property up for $3.6 million to bail Lisa Marie out of debt, sources say.

Elvis and Priscilla's daughter was born February 1, 1968, nine months to the day after their May 1, 1967, wedding. Lisa Marie grew up in the lap of luxury and followed in her dad's footsteps as a singer-songwriter, but her three albums flopped. She’s the sole heir to her father's estate.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, Lisa Marie and Lockwood married in 2006, and two years later, welcomed twin girls, Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love.

But by 2016, the marriage collapsed, triggering a huge and ongoing custody battle that turned bitter when Lisa Marie claimed that she had found hundreds of images and videos of child pornography on her ex-husband's personal computer.

At the time, Lockwood fought back, saying that Lisa Marie’s statement "contains many inaccurate statements, half-truths, and outright falsehoods."

Now, while mother and daughter have had their own share of issues, it seems Priscilla is ready to support her daughter, whatever it takes. Take a look back at Lisa Marie and Priscilla’s unique relationship in this RadarOnline.com gallery.

This isn’t the first time Priscilla has given her girl financial assistance. In April 2018, she reportedly begged friends to return any of Elvis’ personal and prized possessions she may have given them, in an attempt to bolster the bank account of drug-addled Lisa Marie, who’s bounced in and out of rehab for years.
