The actress passed away one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher
Actress Debbie Reynolds has died at the age of 84, one day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher shocked the world. Reynolds was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital on Wednesday (Dec 28th) while planning her daughter’s funeral. Her son Todd tells TMZ that she died as a result of a stroke and told him hours earlier, “I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie.”
Reynolds became one of Hollywood’s elite after rising to stardom in Singin’ In The Rain. She also earned an Oscar nomination for her roll in The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Celebs have taken to social media to express their thoughts on Reynolds’ death.
RIP Debbie Reynolds… bless her… She was a Treasure…

Debbie Reynolds was one of the last of Hollywood Royalty. It breaks my heart that she is gone. I'd hoped that my grieving was done for 2016.

There is nothing harder than having to bury a child. Debbie died of a broken heart, but she's with her daughter now. https://t.co/G3pcQCoViK
