The legendary Debbie Reynolds died at 84-years-old, after being rushed to the hospital for a potential stroke Wednesday afternoon. The painful news comes just one day after Reynolds’ daughter Carrie Fisher died at age 60. Her son Todd Fisher confirmed the tragic news to ET Canada.

The “Singin’ in the Rain” star was reportedly at her son’s house, planning funeral arrangements for Carrie, when she suddenly required emergency medical care — says TMZ. The Los Angeles Fire Department described her condition as “fair to serious” when she was first attended to.
