Carrie Fisher was the most and the everything. A brilliant fucking writer and wit above all else. That’s a genius gone.

R.I.P. Carrie Fisher. Seeing her again on talk shows was such a thrill. So hilarious & fearless when she was being herself.

Literally an audible cry just went up through the whole @NPR newsroom at news of Carrie Fisher’s death. Objectivity only goes so far.

I’m crying. The woman who taught me that I could be a princess and still be kickass has moved to the stars. I love you Carrie Fisher.

I am heartbroken to say that Carrie Fisher has died. I’m aware she’s much more than Princess Leia. But that is how I first knew her.

There has been a great disturbance in the force.
