Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack Friday on an airplane ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources say Carrie was on a flight from London to LAX when she went into cardiac arrest. People on board were administering CPR. 

We're told 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.

The plane landed just after noon in L.A. and paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital.

Fisher, who became famous, of course, as Princess Leia from 'Star Wars,' has been on a book tour

Fisher, who rose to stardom as Princess Leia, recently published an autobiography titled the Princess Diarist, her eighth book.

She is the daughter of famous Hollywood couple Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

Cautiously optimistic that she will pull through.  I do not know where gate1975 got his info ... but Twitter/TMZ/etc. are still just reporting a "massive" heart attack.  

I read it on a message board from a few posters but perhaps they are just making bad jokes.

Sooo apparently she was targeted in  "Death Hoax"  ... just today moments before she had her heart attack today they reported that she was live and well

On the plus side, she made the age of 60, like I always said, if I died at age 59 ... my spirit is going to be ######! 

 

...please be true....

Update (December 23, 2016, 9:12 P.M.): According to Variety, Carrie Fisher is currently in the ICU—and not in stable condition, as previous reports indicated. “She’s in the ICU and everybody’s praying for her,” her brother Todd Fisher told the trade. “There’s nothing new from the doctors. There’s nothing new at all. … There’s no good news or bad news.” He also indicated that media outlets reporting Carrie’s condition as stable are writing between the lines.”

 

Meanwhile, get your hankys 

 

 

Wow. :no: Hope she pulls through. She's a survivor, and if anyone can get through something like this it'll be her. She'd made a lot of positive life changes in the past few years (diet, exercise, getting balanced mentally, career, writing, speaking again, etc), so for something like this to happen is a real punch in the gut ... *sigh* ...

Maybe she'll stop smoking like a chimney now?

 

She's had a very hard life, mostly self inflicted but 69 is young. If a clean life was hers. it would be unusual but her history makes it no surprise. I know a few years ago she cleaned up her act but the damage was done. Having said that, I hope she is with us for many years to come.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
