“Singin’ in the Rain” actress Debbie Reynolds was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after she suffered a possible stroke, TMZ wrote in an exclusive report Wednesday. She was at son Todd Fisher’s Beverly Hills home when someone called 911.
An ambulance reportedly rushed Reynolds to an emergency room. She was discussing funeral plans for daughter Carrie Fisher when the medical emergency occured.
Reynolds, 84, has been distraught since her daughter, the “Star Wars” icon who played Princess Leia, died Tuesday. She suffered a heart attack days earlier on an 11-hour flight from London to Los Angeles. She was rushed to UCLA Medical Center but she never regained consciousness. Fisher was 60 years old.
Reynolds responded to her daughter’s untimely death via Facebook Tuesday. “Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter,” she wrote. “I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop.”
Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, released a statement through family spokesperson Simon Halls. “She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers,” the official statement read.
Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, mourned the loss of Fisher. He talked about her contribution to Hollywood. “Carrie Fisher was one-of-a-kind, a true character who shared her talent and her truth with us all with her trademark wit and irreverence,” Iger said Tuesday. “Millions fell in love with her as the indomitable Princess Leia; she will always have a special place in the hearts of Star Wars fans as well as all of us who were lucky enough to know her personally. She will be sorely missed, and we join millions of fans and friends around the world who mourn her loss today.”
