The estate of pop icon Michael Jackson has paid tribute to the singer's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley after she died of cardiac arrest Thursday.
In a statement shared with the Los Angeles Times on Friday, co-executors of Jackson's estate, John Branca and John McClain, reflected on the "sudden, tragic loss" of Presley. The singer-songwriter's brief marriage to Jackson lasted from 1994 to 1996.
"Michael cherished the special bond they enjoyed as apparent in the official video for 'You Are Not Alone,' and was comforted by Lisa Marie's generous love, concern and care during their times together," the statement said. "Bringing these two special people together was a memorable moment resulting in a union full of genuine affection and care for each other. My deepest sympathies remain with Lisa's family."
