Clooney is a longtime friend of Presley's parents, supermodel Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

Speaking to Entertainment Tomorrow at an event on Friday, Clooney said the family is still coming to terms with the loss.

His wife, human rights attorney Amal Clooney, stood alongside him as he made the comments.
