After being rushed to the hospital due to what was being reported as a heart attack several days ago, we have just learned that actress Carrie Fisher has passed away at the way too young age of 60.
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 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. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.”
All of us here at Jedi News and across the entire Star Wars community send our deepest condolences to the Fisher family.
