Her mum has died:

Debbie Reynolds -- who rose to stardom in "Singin' in the Rain" and quickly became a staple among Hollywood royalty -- died Wednesday as a result of a stroke, TMZ has learned ... just one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher passed away ... this according to her son Todd.

Debbie was rushed to a hospital shortly after 1 PM when someone at the Beverly Hills home of her son, Todd, called 911 to report a possible stroke. We're told Debbie and Todd were making funeral plans for Carrie, who died Tuesday of cardiac arrest.

Debbie famously divorced Eddie Fisher in 1959 after his affair with Elizabeth Taylor. Debbie married 2 more times in 1960 and 1984.

She played iconic roles in "Tammy and the Bachelor" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" ... for which she earned an Oscar nomination.

Carrie's relationship with Debbie was the focus of Carrie's semi-autobiographical book, "Postcards from the Edge," which was later adapted for the big screen, starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine.

Debbie's survived by her son Todd, who tells us, "She's with Carrie."

She was 84.

Jesus christ. :dread:

What an awful few days for that family.

strawberry floating hell. I cannot imagine what that family must be going through right now.

This is all very odd. Heartbreaking for the family.

2016 going out with a trolley dash.

From the BBC...

Her son, Todd Fisher, said the stress of his sister's death had been too much for her and in her last words, she had said she wanted to be with Carrie.

She essentially died of grief. So incredibly sad

Awful

That poor family must be going through hell.

RIP.

Princess Leia's mum has died after losing the will to live. George Lucas knew!

Still, utterly horrible

Must be devastating for their family. It's bad enough one family member dying at Christmas, let alone two.

One of my old uni tutors died last year. Her daughter had been sick for a really long time and died about six months before. My tutor collapsed at her funeral - then a few times after that - and it turned out it was a terminal brain tumour. It still makes me a bit sad when I think about it to be honest as she clearly had a really horrible end to her life that nobody deserves. She would've loved her funeral though - Alex Ferguson delivered her eulogy as she was a Stretford End regular and was Man United's eye specialist.

Imagine it being part of your job description that you intrude on someone's grief... that must take a special kind of bastard.

Yup. Noticed yesterday that the front page of the National Enquirer was leading with 'Drugs binge triggered heart attack that killed Carrie'. I mean, strawberry floating leave that family alone. Arseholes.

Still pretty funny that her urn is a pill though :lol:

Carrie

I mean even the BBC have reported that, it is kinda funny.

Corazon de Leon

Fair play to the family, that's a solid sense of humour right there.

Charming, to the last. :wub:

I don't have an issue with the form of the urn being revealed :lol:

My post way more about the whole taking photos of people in mourning / the nature of people doing that sort of job for a living.
