Hollywood stars share shock over tragedy

-

DEBBIE REYNOLDS’ sudden death, a day after that of daughter Carrie Fisher, sent Hollywood reeling again.

The legendary actress, known best for roles in “Singin’ in the Rain” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” died Wednesday at 84.

“My mom is with my sister,” Todd Fisher told the Daily News. “She wanted to be with her. She always took care of her.”

Celebritie­s reached out online to celebrate the stunning life and career of the Hollywood icon.

“Debbie Reynolds, a legend and my movie mom,” said Albert Brooks. “I can't believe this happened one day after Carrie. My heart goes out to Billie (Lourd),” who is Carrie’s daughter.

“This is the saddest thing,” wrote Ricki Lake. “So sorry for the whole family.”

“There is nothing harder than having to bury a child. Debbie died of a broken heart, but she’s with her daughter now,” wrote George Takei.

“Debbie Reynolds has just died. This is too hard to comprehend,” wrote Bette Midler. “Beautiful, talented, devoted to her craft, she follows Carrie, dead days ago.”

“Debbie Reynolds was one of the last of Hollywood royalty,” said William Shatner. “It breaks my heart that she is gone. I’d hoped that my grieving was done for 2016.”

“My heart is broken but Debbie and Carrie are together in the only way they could be,” wrote Marlee Matlin. “Both leave enormous legacies.”
