Carrie Fisher, more popularly known for acting in the Star Wars movie franchise, has died at the age of 60.
On Friday, she suffered a cardiac arrest while travelling from London to Los Angeles and was rushed to a hospital. She suffered a heart attack in the hospital and later died.
Her death was announced in a statement released on behalf of her daughter.
‘It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning.’
