Priscilla Presley has denied daughter Lisa Marie’s twins have been placed in foster care, insisting the two girls are currently living with their grandmother.
The ex-wife of Elvis Presley took to Facebook overnight to address the “confusion, commotion and concern” sparked by claims the twins had been placed into care.
Priscilla wrote on the social media site: “There is lots of confusion, commotion and concern from all the talk circulating. Let me put this to rest... the girls have not been in foster care and never will be. The girls have been with me and will be until all this is sorted out.”
She added: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for "all" your positive support.”
Lisa Marie Presley has claimed in a court document to have found "disturbing" images on the twins' father Michael Lockwood's computer.
According to the court document, the eight-year-old girls, Finley and Harper Lockwood, were under the care of DCFS "pursuant to dependency court orders".
Lisa, 49, is said to have checked herself into rehab in August last year after she and Lockwood split. She says in court papers that she discovered inappropriate images and videos on Lockwood's device.
A police raid seized several of his electronic gadgets and are in the process of analysing the images, it is claimed in the documents.
Court documents quote Lisa Marie as saying: "I was shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach. My understanding is that Tennessee law enforcement is also conducting an investigation related to the photos and videos that I discovered.
"I have no idea what else may be on those devices and fear that there are more and worse images and evidence in these un-analysed devices."
A lawyer for Michael has denied Lisa's claims.
In a statement to People , he said: “Mr Lockwood and his lawyers believe that it is very unfortunate and inappropriate that Ms Presley chose to file a one-sided, inaccurate version of the facts in the Family Law Court’s publicly accessible files.
“Ms. Presley and her lawyers undoubtedly knew that their highly sensational, inaccurate and unproven claims would be of great interest to the media, which would disseminate Ms. Presley’s inaccurate story as a result.
"To make matters worse, Ms. Presley failed to disclose very important information in the papers she filed in the Family Law Court and the things she failed to disclose are directly related to her inflammatory claims against Mr. Lockwood.
“Mr Lockwood is not going to publicly disclose very negative information about Ms Presley to retaliate. Mr Lockwood and his lawyers did not choose to litigate these personal matters in the press.
"Therefore, while Mr Lockwood denies the truth of what Ms. Presley chose to put in the press, he has no further statement at this time.”
Lisa and Michael are in the process of divorcing after 11 years of marriage, and the daughter of rock n' roll legend Elvis has reportedly alleged that she is required to pay for two nannies to accompany her daughters whenever they visit her estranged husband.
However, she says that her personal fortune – thought to be in the region of $300 million – is nearly depleted, and she's had to move in with her elder daughter Riley Keough, 27 because of her financial difficulties.
When the couple announced their separation last year, musician Michael requested $100,000 for his legal costs and $40,000 a month in spousal support from his soon to be ex-wife.
But Lisa, who cited irreconcilable differences in her divorce papers, believes she shouldn't have to pay Lockwood anything.
A trial regarding the allegations of sexual abuse has been set for March.
Lisa - who was previously married to Michael Jackson for two years in 1994 and Nicolas Cage in 2002 before wedding Lockwood - has previously admitted the secret behind her fourth marriage was Michael's hands on approach.
Speaking previously, she said: "He takes care of everything. He picks the musicians. He gets them ready to tour.
"That's how we met, so we kind of knew each other that way and fell in love - you know, by just working together.
"I'm just amazed at how much he takes on and how much he deals with and handles."
