Mom: Carrie Fisher “stable” after heart attack

Carrie Fisher had a “cardiac episode” – which some reports are calling a heart attack – on a plane en route from London to Los Angeles this afternoon. Her brother Todd told Variety that she’s in the ICU, but they don’t know much yet. “There’s nothing new from the doctors. There’s nothing new at all. There’s no good news or bad news.”

UPDATE: Debbie Reynolds, Carrie’s mother, tweeted Sunday that she’s now in stable condition.

Fisher was attended to by nurses and airline staff on the plane and then rushed to UCLA Medical Center by paramedics. There are more details at the Hollywood Reporter.

Fisher was in London promoting her new book, The Princess Diarist.

News of Fisher’s condition drew supportive tweets from co-stars and colleagues:

The hashtag #prayersforcarrie was trending on Twitter Friday evening.
