Hacked email - no access to recovery email

Hello,
My email address was hacked last week and the hacker sent emails to all my saved email addresses asking for money!
I have pressed forgotten password where an email was sent to a recovery email address which I have no access to.
i went onto live chat via here and the lady confirmed I will receive a text in 24 hrs to reset. I still do not have this text or unable to reset my password via forgetting password tab. I confirmed with her my up to date number and a new recovery email.
Is there anything else I can do? I have important emails on this account but having no luck with resetting it all!
Regards
Emma

@EmmaWyborn, in addition, run some antivirus software on all your devices and check for malware.
