Carrie Fisher, the actress best known as Star Wars‘ Princess Leia Organa, has died after suffering a heart attack. She was 60.
Family spokesman Simon Halls released a statement to PEOPLE on behalf of Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd:
“It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning,” reads the statement.
“She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly,” says Lourd. “Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.”
Fisher was flying from London to Los Angeles on Friday, Dec. 23, when she went into cardiac arrest. Paramedics removed her from the flight and rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for a heart attack. She later died in the hospital.
And yet another loss thanks to this dogshit year of 2016.. is it over yet? :(
oooo. They was boning when that picture was taken. And Luke knew it. Just look at him. He knew it.
If they were then Harrison Ford has a 3-4 foot long dick which he has full control over not unlike an actual Python, I don't doubt this is true of course...
As for this news, fucking Tragic, Princess Leia was an iconic character of my childhood and Fisher was always present in one way or another, she was never too high and mighty even with all of the praise people lavished on her she could still have a laugh at times at her own expense if needs be.
Regarding her appearing in the next Star Wars film, her work on that is complete apparently.
RIP Carrie Fisher, a hard time for her family and nerds of all generations tonight :(
It's rare that I shed a tear for a celeb death... tonight is a rarity, some levity for anyone who is saddened by the news, think of her heading to the pearly gates in this banger :')
Then laughed at how she has such a great personality and would be cool to hang out with at her old age. Then hoping to be able to meet her at a Con one day.
And then thus happened... 😐
Yeah, those tweets are very hard to read. Think it says "Saw Rogue One this weekend. Saw CGI me though... Like uber botox only more persistent. Soon they will make a baby look like me with CGI".
Looking at it makes me think that she might well be contractually obligated to not say anything negative regarding the Star Wars franchise on her social media accounts, she clearly hasn't, it's just a string of emoticons.
