“And when she saw it, she embraced it so deeply,” Luhrmann said.
“We miss her deeply. She was here to see the film and it meant a lot to her, I know that, and Austin [Butler] meant so much to her - I know that.
“She had felt like her father through the film had been put back in his rightful place. It meant a lot to us, actually. It was deeply moving and it was incredibly beautiful as well. So much love and sadness at the same time.”
Page Six has reached out to Presley’s representatives for comment. Her official cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
Presley, the only child of the late Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla, died on January 12 after a cardiac arrest just two days after her Golden Globes appearance.
During an interview with Extra on the red carpet, she told Jerry Schilling - who had been friends with her father for years - that she needed to “grab” his arm, and held on to him tightly.
The singer had spoken openly about her battle with addiction to opioids and painkillers over the past few years.
She wrote in the foreword for Harry Nelson’s 2019 book, The United States of Opioids, “You may read this and wonder how, after losing people close to me, I also fell prey to opioids.”
She revealed that her addiction started when doctors gave her opioids for pain after she gave birth to her twin daughters Harper and Finley in 2008.
“[It’s] a difficult path to overcome this dependence, and to put my life back together,” she continued. “Even in recent years, I have seen too many people I loved struggle with addiction and die tragically from this epidemic.”
Presley was laid to rest at Graceland after a memorial service on January 22, where her oldest daughter Riley Keough and her mother Priscilla both shared moving tributes to her.
