TMZ has the awful news:
#BREAKING Carrie Fisher Suffers Massive Heart Attack on Plane https://t.co/Daq2vJsCkH
— TMZ (@TMZ) December 23, 2016
Her condition is unknown but TMZ reports that she was taken to a local hospital.
Actress Anna Akana was reportedly on the same flight and says that Fisher “stopped breathing” before she was attending to by passengers and the flight crew:
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

Feel weird even tweeting about it but I JUST finished her book and was fangirling out over seeing her dog Gary in person. Gah.
