Hollywood icon Debbie Reynolds was rushed to a California hospital Wednesday just a day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher, according to a new report.
Reynolds, 84, was taken to the hospital after suffering a possible stroke at her son Todd Fisher’s Beverly Hills home about 1 p.m., TMZ.com reported.
Reynolds was at her son’s house discussing funeral plans for her daughter. Her condition wasn’t immediately clear.
In emergency dispatch audio obtained by TMZ, a rescue worker is overheard directing multiple units to the house for a reported stroke.
Todd Fisher spoke to the Daily News an hour before his mother suffered the medical emergency.
“Obviously we are all heartbroken,” he said of Carrie Fisher’s death. “Everybody is doing their best to pull together, but it’s just a shock.”
Todd Fisher said he and his mom were looking into the possibility of laying his sister to rest near his mother’s planned burial site.
“We have a family plot we’re looking at right now. My mom would like to put her where she's going to go, but it might change,” he said.
A prolific actress and singer, Reynolds starred in “Singin’ in the Rain” and earned an Oscar nomination for her gutsy character in “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.”
She and her first husband, singer Eddie Fisher, made up one of Hollywood’s hottest power couples in the 1950s. The pair split in 1959 after Fisher had an affair with Elizabeth Taylor.
Reynolds’ health scare triggered an instant onslaught of well wishes from social media users.
“I heard about Debbie Reynolds,” tweeted William Shatner. “Let’s pray that it’s nothing serious.”
Carrie Fisher, the 60-year-old “Star Wars” actress who played Princess Leia, died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack on a plane.
Fisher was flying from London to Los Angeles Friday when she went into cardiac arrest roughly 15 minutes before landing.
