Actress Riley Keough paid an emotional tribute to her brother Benjamin a week after the 27-year-old committed suicide.
Riley told her Instagram followers about the “true heartbreak” she feels at losing her “little brother.”
The brothers are Elvis Presley’s grandchildren and the offspring of his daughter Lisa Marie.
Posting a photo of herself and Benjamin on Instagram, Riley, 31, wrote: “Mornings are the most difficult. I forgot that you left. I can’t cry for fear of never stopping. A new pain for me.
“You. There are no words for you. Angel is the closest I can think of. Pure light. Brother Bebe. Best friend. Wild man. Intellectual. Witness of my life. Soulmate. Protector. Too sensitive for this hard world.
“I hope you give me the strength to endure the giant hole you left in my heart. I hope you give me strength to eat. I hope you are cradled in love. I hope you feel my love. I hope you feel god.
“You are God. I cannot believe that you have left me. You are not sweet Ben Ben. No one but you. I suppose this is a true heartbreak. I hope we will meet again.”

Mother Lisa Marie, who had Riley and Benjamin with her first husband Danny Keough, is said to be “heartbroken”.
Her representative Roger Widynowski said in a statement last week: “She [Lisa Marie] She is heartbroken, inconsolable, and more than devastated, but she tries to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and older daughter Riley.
“She adored that boy. He was the love of her life. “
