Actress Debbie Reynolds has died aged 84 – a day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher, the beloved Star Wars actress.
Reynolds’ passing was confirmed by her son Todd Fisher, who said: “She’s now with Carrie and we’re all heartbroken.
“She said, ‘I want to be with Carrie.’ And then she was gone.”
Fisher told the Associated Press that the stress of his sister’s death “was too much” for their mother to cope with and it killed her.
Her death followed a TMZ report that she had been taken to hospital after suffering a possible stroke and subsequently died in the early hours Irish time.
