Carrie Fisher’s Heart Attack: Star Wars Co-Star and Celebs Send Prayers

On Friday, December 23, Carrie Fisher suffered a heart attack while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. The “Star Wars” actress, best known for her iconic role of Princess Leia, was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics after an emergency landing, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Fisher was in critical condition, though Todd Fisher, Carrie’s brother, told the Associated Press that she had been stabilized. Later, he told CNN that she was in an intensive care unit.

Upon hearing the news of her condition, Fisher’s “Star Wars” co-stars, including Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, Warwick Davis, who portrayed Wicket the Ewok in “Return of the Jedi,” and the indie community took to social media to send their prayers and positive thoughts.
