Iconic Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher has died at the age of 60.

Fisher was taken ill after suffering a cardiac arrest on a flight from London to LA on Friday, and has been in hospital since. But a family statement said with "deep sadness" that she passed away on Tuesday morning

While her most recognisable role was as that of Princess and then General Leia in the Star Wars movies, she had a hugely successful career as an actor and writer, most notably starring in films such as When Harry Met Sally and The Blues Brothers, TV shows such as Catastrophe and Family Guy, and working as a script doctor on huge films like Hook, Sister Act and Lethal Weapon 3. She also wrote four novels and three memoirs.

Fisher was also an outspoken and hugely empowering spokesperson for mental illness, and frequently talked about her own experience with bipolar disorder and drug addiction.

The celebrity world has reacted in shock and sadness to her death. 

Carrie Fisher dedicated her platform to mental health awareness & female empowerment. She is a reason + reminder to keep up your fight. RIP

It's been overstated, but it's been a difficult, heavy year.
Learning Carrie Fisher has passed breaks my heart as it does so many others.

— Grant Gustin (@grantgust) December 27, 2016

thoughts and prayers to Carrie Fisher's family

— Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) December 27, 2016

If I heard Carrie Fisher was going to make an appearance I wanted to see it. U know ur special when Meryl Streep plays YOU in a movie. RIP.

Carrie was my friend. It took me three series but I got her in the end. She was the most… https://t.co/iGOLk0pUHM

I'm sitting in stunned silence learning of the death of #CarrieFisher. In what has been a particularly sad year this may be the hardest. RIP

— Josh Gad (@joshgad) December 27, 2016

She was the brightest, funniest, bravest, kindest, cleverest and sweetest person I ever knew. A crushing blow to lose @carrieffisher

— Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) December 27, 2016

I'm deeply saddened to learn of the death of Carrie Fisher. I will miss our banterings. A wonderful talent & light has been extinguished.

— William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) December 27, 2016

RIP Carrie. Thoughts and love go out to her family from everyone at MTV.
