The LA Times Reports That "Star Wars" actress Carrie Fisher was in critical condition Friday afternoon after suffering a “cardiac episode” during a flight from London to Los Angeles, according to airline and emergency officials.

Fisher, 60, was rushed to UCLA Medical Center by Los Angeles Firemen Paramedics shortly after noon, after her 11-hour flight touched down at LAX.

Her brother, Todd Fisher, told The Associated Press that she was “out of emergency” and stabilized at a Los Angeles hospital later Friday afternoon. He said he could not discuss any other details about what happened.

The actress was on board a flight from London to Los Angeles when she went into cardiac arrest around 15 minutes before landing.

A crew member appealed for any medical personnel on board the flight to come forward, prompting an off-duty emergency medical technician (EMT) to offer his help. He headed into the first-class cabin, where Fisher had been seated, and performed CPR.

2016 has not been a good year for celebrities. Let's hope that Carrie Fisher pulls though.
