The actress who rose to fame playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films has reportedly had a massive heart attack.

While on a plane from London to Los Angeles’s LAX airport, Carrie Fisher went into cardiac arrest 15 minutes before the plane landed in LA, according to TMZ.

According to multiple reports, an EMT aboard the flight was administering CPR and United Airlines crew reported Fisher was “unresponsive” when they landed. Emergency vehicles rushed her to a nearby hospital.

Passengers aboard the flight detailed the experience on Twitter.

Don’t know how else to process this but Carrie Fisher stopped breathing on the flight home. Hope she’s gonna be OK ?
