		</div><p>Debbie Reynolds has been rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke, barely a day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher, according to reports.</p>
<p>Tmz.com has revealed that the actor and singer, 84, was at the home of her son Todd Fisher making plans for a funeral when the emergency services were called at around 1pm local time.</p>
<p>According to the website, Reynolds had been &#8220;distraught&#8221; since her 60-year-old daughter&#8217;s death on Tuesday, three days after she suffered a heart attack on a transatlantic flight.</p>
<p>Rising to fame for her role playing Princess Leia in the first Star Wars films, Fisher&#8217;s recent book about life on the set &#8211; in particular her affair with co-star Harrison Ford &#8211; has rocketed up the best-seller list in the hours since her death.</p>
<p>It came as Fisher&#8217;s ex-husband, singer-songwriter Paul Simon, added his condolences. The former half of American duo Simon &#038; Garfunkel wrote on Twitter: <i>&#8220;Yesterday was a horrible day. Carrie was a special, wonderful girl. It&#8217;s too soon. Paul Simon.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>A Twitter account in the name of Todd, posted soon after: <i>&#8220;My sister has graduated to heaven, but she has left us all with so much of her. It is a very sad time for my family and all her friends.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Ford, 74, gave a heartfelt statement on Tuesday about his co-star, saying: <i>&#8220;Carrie was one of a kind &#8230; brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Fisher, who became an international screen star and sex symbol when she appeared in the first Star Wars film in 1977, died in California on Tuesday morning, a family spokesman said.</p>
<p>Her Star Wars legacy is set to continue as she returns as General Leia Organa in Star Wars: Episode VIII, due for release next December.</p>
<p>Disney, which owns the franchise, confirmed on Wednesday that &#8220;production had wrapped&#8221; on the film &#8211; which will see her reprise her role from last year&#8217;s Star Wars: The Force Awakens &#8211; before her death.</p>

<p>John Boyega, who played Finn in A Force Awakens, said his &#8220;heart is heavy&#8221; in a post on Twitter on Wednesday morning alongside a photograph of him and Fisher.<br />
He added: &#8220;I&#8217;m grateful that I got to know her. I&#8217;ll cherish the memories, conversations and her consistent support. Rest well.&#8221;<br />
Fisher captured the hearts of a generation of young men as the blaster-toting, bikini-wearing princess and tough resistance leader in the three original Star Wars films.<br />
Her character had a simmering romance with Ford&#8217;s Han Solo throughout the films &#8211; 1977&#8217;s A New Hope, 1980&#8217;s The Empire Strikes Back and 1983&#8217;s Return Of The Jedi &#8211; and was revealed to be the twin sister of the main character Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill.<br />
Hamill tweeted a picture of himself with Fisher from the set alongside the caption: <i>&#8220;No words #Devastated.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Off screen, Fisher battled with drink, drugs and mental illness.</p>
<p>In 1987 she published her semi-autobiographical novel Postcards From The Edge about a recovering drug addict film star. It became a bestseller and was turned into a 1990 film starring an Oscar-nominated Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine and Dennis Quaid.</p>
<p>She wrote and performed in an autobiographical one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, which went to Broadway and was turned into a book.</p>
<p>In The Princess Diarist, she claimed she had a three-month romance with Ford &#8211; a married father-of-two at the time &#8211; which she kept secret for 40 years.</p>
<p>Describing the alleged affair, which would have taken place when she was 19 and Ford was 33, she told People magazine: <i>&#8220;It was so intense. It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Among the numerous fan tributes made across the globe, one group created for Fisher her very own posthumous star on Hollywood Boulevard&#8217;s prestigious Walk Of Fame.</p>
<p>Claiming a blank star on the boulevard, they stuck on the words: <i>&#8220;May the force be with you always,&#8221;</i> laying next to it flowers and a light sabre.</p>
<p>Authorities have reportedly allowed the makeshift tribute to temporarily remain, finally allowing Fisher a place in the famous gallery, alongside her parents Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.</p>
