Actress Carrie Fisher, famed for her role as Princess Leia in “Star Wars”, passed away Tuesday at the age of 60. The actress suffered a heart attack four days ago while travelling aboard a flight to Los Angeles. Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, released a statement through her spokesman saying Fisher died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. “It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning,” read the statement from publicist Simon Halls. “She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly.”
Fisher, who started her Hollywood career opposite Warren Beatty in the 1975 hit film “Shampoo” found her true calling when she was asked to portray the character of Princess Leia in the 1977 hit science fiction film Star Wars. She uttered the famous quote from the film, ““Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” She went on to become a significant part of the Star Wars franchise and returned to the role in “Star Wars-The Force Awakens” which released last year.
