Fisher, known for her role in Star Wars, passed away after suffering a heart attack on a plane. She was on her way home from a trip to London. She passed a day later on December 27, 2016. Reynolds, heartbroken after seeing her daughter pass, told her son that she wanted to be with Carrie, and passed away from a stroke the day after Fisher on December 28, 2016.
The two actresses weren’t always close, but in their later years, they were inseparable. Both will be dearly missed.
