Carrie Fisher: Star Wars has died

Topics

Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, is in intensive care after suffering a heart attack during a flight, her brother says.

Fisher, 60, went into cardiac arrest minutes before the end of the London to LA flight.

Passengers attempted to revive her with CPR and she was taken to hospital when the plane landed after midday local time (20:00 GMT), the TMZ website said.

Her brother Todd said she was in intensive care in Los Angeles.

Hope she recovers soon. We've been ploughing through the Star Wars channel.

I love her character.

I think one feared the worst when it happened in-flight. It does make you wonder if she had more of a chance if it had happened nearer to treatment. Yet another notable loss this year.

Her heart attack happened just 15 minutes before the plane landed and there was a medic on the plane who have her CPR until the medics arrived who continued giving her CPR for a further 15 minutes before they detected a pulse. So it doesn't look as if there was much delay.

From Debbie Reynolds on her Facebook page:

"Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop. Love Carrie's Mother"

She was much more than a Star Wars actress....a brilliantly funny and insightful writer too, someone who made a shift in the understanding of mental illness , can't believe she is survived by her mother, Debbie Reynolds.

I finally got to see "Rogue One" this afternoon (it was booked before Christmas).

I'm not ashamed to say that the final scene caught me off guard, and I blubbed uncontrollably.
