Carrie Fisher in Critical Condition After Suffering a Massive Heart Attack

Carrie Fisher by Joey Paur

Carrie Fisher, who is best known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, suffered a massive heart attack on an airplane while flying from London to Los Angeles. 

The news comes from the Los Angeles Times who says that the 60-year-old writer and actress is in critical condition after being rushed to a nearby hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics shortly after noon, after her flight landed at LAX.

According to an anonymous source from TMZ, “The emergency occurred 15 minutes before the plane landed in L.A. A flight attendant asked if there were any medical personnel on board and an EMT who was sitting in the back of the plane came up to first class and administered life-saving measures.”

This is just horrible news, and I hope that she ends up being ok and pulls through this. Our thoughts are with her and her family during this difficult time.
