Carrie Fisher dies at 60

She was 60 years old.

Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars movie franchise, was rushed to an LA hospital on Friday after suffering a heart attack during an incoming flight.

The last statement we received from the family was that the actress was in stable condition just prior to Christmas day.

A family spokesperson made the following statement regarding the death:

“It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning.”

“She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly,” says Lourd. “Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.”

Fuck you 2016. Fuck you.
