Multiple outlets are reporting that Carrie Fisher is in critical condition after suffering a massive heart attack during a flight. It's thought that medical professionals were on board the plane and able to treat her, but there are conflicting reports about what exactly happened. Some have said that she wasn't breathing for as long as fifteen minutes, while one law enforcement official said, "her condition was 'not good.'" It's since been reported that she is on "assisted breathing" in a Los Angeles medical facility.
Fisher is 60 years old and has been travelling the world to promote the release of her autobiography. United Airlines have also released a statement: "Medical personnel met United flight 935 from London to Los Angeles upon arrival today after the crew reported that a passenger was unresponsive. Our thoughts are with our customer at this time and any requests for additional information should be directed to local authorities." With any luck, we'll get a positive update about her condition later today. Things aren't sounding good, but Fisher is thankfully being looked after.
For now though, various Star Wars co-stars have been weighing in on social media about the news.
UPDATE: We now have another update on Fisher's current condition, and it's thankfully a positive one.
