f***in' 2016. It's trying to go out like a raging ****.

 

 

CARRIE Fisher suffered a ‘massive heart attack’ during a flight on Friday night.

 
The 60-year-old actress was on a flight from London to LAX when she suffered a cardiac arrest.
 
TMZ claims the plane landed in America at noon and paramedics rushed on board.
 
Actress Anna Akana was on board the flight and has describing the frantic scenes on Twitter.
 
She wrote: “Don’t know how else to process this but Carrie Fisher stopped breathing on the flight home.
 
“Hope she’s gonna be OK.
 
“So many thanks to the United flight crew who jumped into action, and the awesome doctor and nurse passengers who helped.”
 
Once she was taken from the plane, the Star Wars actress was rushed to a nearby hospital.
 
 
She’s currently on tour promoting her book The Princess Diarist, an intimate recollection of what really happened behind the scenes when she was filming the first Star Wars movie.
 
Fans of Carrie were devastated by the news of her ill health and took to Twitter to wish her well.
 
Recently Carrie opened up about her “intense” three month fling with co-star Harrison Ford – something she talks about in detail in her book.
 
At the time of their trysts, Carrie was 19 and Harrison was 14 years her senior at 33-years-old.
 
Appearing on the Today show following the admission, she told hostess Savannah Guthrie: “I’m surprised at the reaction. I don’t think it is that surprising.”
 
She then spoke about the fandom surrounding the much-loved sci-fi franchise and added: “A lot of the fans did think about it for a while. They made up ‘Carrison’ as a word!”
 
The Princess Diarist is a collection of excerpts from her diary while she shot the original Star Wars film at Pinewood Studios back in the 70s.
 
However, in terms of her own memory, she revealed that she didn't remember much, telling Savannah: "I've seen to it that I don't remember much."
 
 
 
Speaking of her fondness for the handsome star and when pressed about whether or not she loved him, she admitted: "I was 19. Yeah, so... I was not a cavalier type person."
 
She added: "I wasn't raised that way. But when you're on location everything is permitted."
 
Carrie's new memoir is her second autobiography - after documenting her drink and drugs battle in previous release, Wishful Drinking.
 
The Princess Diarist documents her time on the set of the 1976 smash-hit movie, including bedding Harrison after a birthday party for director George Lucas.
 
In the book, she alleges the affair with Harrison, who was married at the time, began when he offered to drive her home while she was in a "wine sodden" state.
 
In a leaked excerpt from the book, which is available on November 22, she said: "How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me? ... I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him. He was kind."
 
She later added: "I was relieved when it ended. I didn't approve of myself."

Update.

 

Carrie Fisher in stable condition, mother says

 

 

Carrie Fisher's mother, veteran actress Debbie Reynolds, says her daughter is in "stable condition" following a medical emergency aboard a flight Friday.

 
Reynolds, 84, wrote in a brief statement that her family would share additional information if Fisher's condition changes. 
 
Fisher was rushed to hospital Dec. 23 in critical condition after experiencing a cardiac episode on a plane bound for Los Angeles. Passengers seated next to her on the flight posted messages online about the incident, one saying Fisher had "stopped breathing."
 
The Postcards from the Edge author is best known for her role as Princess Leia in the first of several Star Wars movies. She was on a book tour promoting her latest memoir, The Princess Diarist. 
 
Many Hollywood actors and fans have offered their well-wishes, including Fisher's Star Wars co-stars Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.
