Just a day after her daughter's death, age 60

Shockingly, Golden Era Hollywood star Debbie Reynolds has passed away from a stroke, just a day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died of a cardiac arrest. Reynolds was 84.

As ABC reports, the Oscar-nominated Singin' In The Rain actor was at her son Todd Fisher's house in Beverly Hills discussing funeral arrangements for her daughter when she was taken to hospital, suffering from a suspected stroke.

She was taken to hospital in "fair to serious condition" and died later in hospital.

As Variety reports, the '50s and '60s leading lady also starred in 1964's The Unsinkable Molly Brown — for which she received an Oscar nomination — and last year, was awarded a SAG Lifetime Achievement Award.
