Best wishes flow in for ‘Star Wars’ star Fisher

NEW YORK — Tributes and well-wishes poured in for “Star Wars” actress Carrie Fisher, who was spending Christmas Eve in a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a medical emergency on a flight the day before.

“Princess Leia c an survive anything!” wrote one fan on Twitter. “Hold on, Carrie Fisher. We’re taking you into 2017 with us,” wrote another. Her “Star Wars” co-star Mark Hamill said he was “sending all our love.”

Other “Star Wars” co-stars who wished her well on Twitter included Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacc a, Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO, Dave Prowse, who acted as Darth Vader, and Bi l ly Dee Wil l i a ms, who played Lando Calrissian.

Mayhew called her “everyone’s favorite princess right now.”

Todd Fisher, the actress’ brother, said Friday night that his sister is receiving excellent care, but that he could not classify her condition. He had earlier said she had been stabilized and was out of the emergency room. In a subsequent interview he said many details about her condition or what caused the medical emergency are unknown.

Fans on Twitter hoped she would pull through. One wrote: “Carrie Fisher survived alcoholism, addiction, depression, bipolar disorder & 60 years in Hollywood. If anyone can survive 2016, it’s her.”

Fisher, 60, experienced medical trouble during a Friday flight from London and was treated by paramedics immediately after the plane landed in Los Angeles, according to reports citing unnamed sources.

Celebrit y website TMZ, which first reported the incident, said people who spoke anonymously told it the actress suffered a heart attack.

Todd Fisher said much of what had been reported about the incident was speculation.

“We have to wait and be patient,” he said. “We have so little information ourselves.”

Carrie Fisher’s publicists did not return calls.
