Riley had been remembering on time with her brother since his death earlier this month.
She recalled her brother’s happy moments, showing casual encounters and lazy days indoors together.
But the tragedy was far from Riley’s mind in the setbacks.
The first video showed the brothers playing on the couch, with the Zola actress dressed in a black turtleneck while Ben was wrapped in a gray Adidas sweatshirt.
Another clip showed Ben dancing in the kitchen, then embarrassed and walking away from the camera with a smile.
“Stop it, I hate it,” he said to his sister.
The shyness of his camera came on again in a video that Riley took during a car trip.
Riley had a collection of videos of the duo’s trips together.
Another video had the Christmas date 2019.
In it, he was seen hunched over a sofa that stretches before standing up and smiling at his sister.
There were also moments with Ben’s girlfriend Diana Pinto, who was reportedly there at the time of his suicide.
Keough paid tribute to Ben with a heartbreaking Instagram post earlier this month, calling his little brother ‘pure light’.
“Mornings are the most difficult,” he explained. I forget that you’re gone. I can’t cry for fear of never stopping. A new pain for me.
‘Your. There are no words for you. Angel is the closest I can think of. Pure light. Baby brother. Best friend. Wild man. Intellectual. Witness of my life. Soulmate. Protective. Too sensitive for this tough world.
I hope you give me strength to bear the giant hole you have 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 can’t believe you left me. You are not sweet Ben Ben. No one but you. I suppose this is a true heartbreak. I hope we meet again.’
Ben’s friends are also recovering from the loss.
Close boxer friend Victor Ortiz said his death has been “hard to swallow” during a conversation with The Sun.
“It was an angel,” he told the newspaper. ‘One of the best humans I have ever met. Depression takes some of the best people in the world. ‘
Victor said they were very close and credited Ben for helping him fix his life.
’14 years ago I was bankrupt with two jobs. I said I didn’t have much to offer, but a hand in friendship. Take my hand out of the way, then she kisses me and shakes my hand.
And Victor got an idea of the Presley-Keough family pain, telling The Sun: “His family is hurt.”
Benjamin died of a self-inflicted shot on July 13.
DailyMail.com reported the sequence of events last week.
Neighbors heard Benjamin celebrate at the Calabasas, California, home for $ 1.8 million from his mother, Lisa Marie Presley, on Saturday night July 12, the birthday of his girlfriend Diana Pinto, before listening to a woman who Pinto was believed to yell “don’t do it” in the early hours of the day. Sunday morning.
Lisa Marie’s manager previously said: ‘(Lisa) is utterly 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.
Benjamin was the son of Lisa Marie, the only child of superstar Elvis, and musician Danny Keough. Lisa Marie had previously spoken of Benjamin’s similarity to Elvis, calling his resemblance “strange.”
