Reportedly ...
Actress Carrie Fisher is in critical condition
after a cardiac episode on flight from London to L.A.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Star Wars" actress Carrie Fisher was in critical condition
Friday after suffering a "cardiac episode" during a flight
from London to Los Angeles, according to airline and
emergency officials.
Fisher, 60, was rushed to UCLA Medical Center by Los Angeles
Fire Department paramedics shortly after noon, after her
11-hour flight touched down at LAX.
A source who was not authorized to discuss the incident said
the actress was "in a lot of distress on the flight."
A statement released by United Airlines said that medical
personnel met Flight 935 from London on arrival after the
crew reported a passenger was unresponsive.
Two people aboard a flight from London to Los Angeles said
via social media that they saw Carrie Fisher stop breathing
before the plane landed at LAX.
On Friday, airport police responded to calls of an
unresponsive female passenger on board. Emergency officials
confirmed that that passenger was Carrie Fisher. "Our
thoughts are with our customer at this time," the statement
read.
Just prior to arrival, a pilot told the control tower that
passengers who were nurses were attending to an
"unresponsive" passenger.
"So they're working on her right now," the pilot said in a
public recording of the conversation on liveatc.net.
According to the LAX Police Department, officers responded
to Terminal 7 around 12:15 p.m., for a call of a female
passenger in cardiac arrest. On arrival, they found
paramedics performing CPR on the victim, according to
Officer Alicia Hernandez.
Todd Fisher, Carrie's brother, told the Associated Press
that his sister had been stabilized at the hospital but did
not provide further details.
Fisher, who rose to stardom as Princess Leia, recently
published an autobiography titled the "Princess Diarist,"
her eighth book.
She is the daughter of famous Hollywood couple Debbie
Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.
Carrie Fisher, who has written and spoken openly about her
struggles in Hollywood, is considered Hollywood royalty.
She took on her prickly relationship with her mother in the
book-to-movie "Postcards From the Edge." She's also been
outspoken about her mental health issues and the solution
she found radical-sounding electroshock therapy.
News of Fisher's condition sparked an outpouring of support
and sympathy on social media.
Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca, tweeted
"thoughts and prayers for our friend and everyone's
favorite princess right now."
Actor Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, also took to
Twitter: "as if 2016 couldn't get any worse... sending all
our love to @carrieffisher"

Fisher, 60, who played Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars, is in the
intensive care unit of a Los Angeles hospital.
She had heart problems during a flight from London to Los Angeles, and
passengers attempted to revive her with CPR.
Friends and colleagues have shared their hopes for her swift recovery.
Her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, said on Twitter: "Carrie is in
stable condition. If there is a change, we will share it. For all her
fans & friends. I thank you for your prayers & good wishes."
Fisher had been on tour promoting her latest book, The Princess Diarist.
The cardiac arrest happened about 15 minutes before the plane landed in
LA, celebrity news website TMZ reported. A medic who was travelling on
the plane administered CPR.
Paramedics then spent a further 15 minutes administering more CPR to
Fisher before getting a pulse, TMZ said.
Fisher appeared in the original Star Wars trilogy and Star Wars: The
Force Awakens, a sequel released last year.
She was in other films including The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met
Sally, and has written four novels and three memoirs. She was previously
married to the musician Paul Simon.
Fisher is the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher.
