John Travolta leads celebrity tributes following Lisa Marie Presley's death
John Travolta said he was "so sorry" as he led the celebrity tributes to Lisa Marie Presley, who has died at the age of 54.
The only child of legendary singer Elvis Presley was rushed to hospital on Thursday after paramedics had performed CPR on the star following cardiac arrest at her house in Calabasas.
