Marie Osmond held back tears as she explained why the death of Lisa Marie Presley‘s son, Benjamin Keough, hits “very close to home” for her and her family. The Talk star shared her heartbreak for Elvis Presley‘s daughter and revealed the devastating situation brought back memories of the time her own son Michael Bryan died in 2010. This moment of shared grief highlights the profound impact of losing a child and the way it resonates across families, even those who may not know each other personally.

During an emotional episode of The Talk on July 13, Marie opened up about her thoughts and feelings upon hearing the devastating news. “When I heard the news … sorry,” the 60-year-old beauty shared while holding back tears. “I just sat back and I relived it all again. I know exactly what she’s going through. And it brought back all those feelings of the first time I saw him.” Marie's vulnerability in discussing her own loss paints a poignant picture of the unending pain that accompanies such tragedies.

Marie, who lost her son Michael to suicide at age 18 in February 2010, expressed her sincerest remorse as she recalled the moment she found out about her son’s death. “That realization, especially for Lisa — I mean, it’s her baby, her boy, you know,” she continued, as her costars Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, and Eve nodded in agreement. “And I know the grieving she has to be going through. It’s really difficult.” Marie’s heartfelt words resonate with anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, emphasizing the shared human experience of grief and the need for compassion during such a painful time.
