Carrie Fisher, “Star Wars” Princess Leia has died aged 60.
Four days earlier she suffered a cardiac arrest on a flight. The actress passed away this morning after being taken ill travelling from London to Los Angeles.
Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, paid tribute to the actress. “Carrie holds such special place in the hearts of everyone at Lucasfilm it is difficult to think of a world without her. She was Princess Leia to the world but a very special friend to all of us. She had an indomitable spirit, incredible wit, and a loving heart. Carrie also defined the female hero of our age over a generation ago,” Kennedy said. “Her groundbreaking role as Princess Leia served as an inspiration of power and confidence for young girls everywhere. We will miss her dearly.”
