Tributes and well-wishes poured in for Star Wars actress
Carrie Fisher, who was spending Christmas Eve in a Los Angeles hospital after
suffering a medical emergency on a flight the day before.
"Princess Leia can survive anything!" wrote one
fan on Twitter. "Hold on, Carrie Fisher. We're taking you into 2017 with
us," wrote another. Her Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill said he was
"sending all our love."
Todd Fisher, the actress' brother, said yesterday that his
sister is receiving excellent care, but that he could not classify her
condition. He had earlier said that she had been stabilised and was out of the
emergency room.
In a subsequent interview he said many details about her
condition or what caused the medical emergency are unknown.
More details have
surfaced after reports early this morning said Fisher suffered a heart attack
while flying to LA.
Fans on Twitter hoped she would pull through. One wrote:
"Carrie Fisher survived alcoholism, addiction, depression, bipolar
disorder & 60 years in Hollywood. If anyone can survive 2016, it's
her." The actress' former co-star Peter Mayhew, who played "Star
Wars" character Chewbacca, called her "everyone's favorite princess
right now."
Fisher, 60, experienced medical trouble during a Friday
flight from London and was treated by paramedics immediately after the plane
landed in Los Angeles, according to reports citing unnamed sources.
Celebrity website TMZ, which first reported the incident,
said anonymous sources told them the actress suffered a heart attack.
Todd Fisher said much of what had been reported about the
incident was speculation.
"We have to wait and be patient," he said.
"We have so little information ourselves."
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said
paramedics administered advanced life-saving care to a patient at Los Angeles
International Airport on Saturday and transported the person to a nearby
hospital. He did not identify the patient.
A large gathering of media personnel was camped outside
Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles hospital, where TMZ and the
Los Angeles Times reported she had been taken.
