Michael Jackson's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley has fought back at rumours that she ignored an SOS message from the 'Thriller' singer before his death.

Elvis's daughter was reported to be wracked with guilt over her dismissal of a voicemail from Jackson a year ago in which he said he was losing control of his life.

A source apparently told Us Weekly: "[Jackson] said he needed [Presley's] help because his life was spinning out of control and begged her to call him. But she never did. She kept saying 'I should've done something' and blames herself."

Presley's spokesperson dismissed the reports as rubbish, saying: "I don't believe this is true."

Jackson and Presley divorced in 1996 after two years of marriage.
