Countless celebrities took to social media to pay tribute to Carrie Fisher after she died on Tuesday. The 60-year-old actress suffered a heart attack on a plane from London to LAX just a few days before her death and had been hospitalized.
Fisher’s 24-year-old actress daughter, Billie Lourd, confirmed her “beloved” mother’s death in a statement, saying, “She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.”
