Tributes have poured in for Hollywood icon Debbie Reynolds after the actress and singer died Wednesday at the age of 84, just one day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher.
The Singin’ in the Rain star was rushed to Cedars-Sinai hospital Wednesday afternoon after suffering a suspected stroke. She was pronounced dead hours later.
Reynolds’s death came within a day of her daughter’s, actress Carrie Fisher, who died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack on Friday on a flight from London to Los Angeles.
Just hours after many had expressed their condolences to Reynolds over the death of her daughter, celebrities took to Twitter to mourn Reynolds’ death and remember her prolific career, which spanned more than six decades.
Reynolds’ on-screen children Albert Brooks and Debra Messing led the way on social media with touching tributes.
“Debbie Reynolds, a legend and my movie mom. I can’t believe this happened one day after Carrie. My heart goes out to Billie.”

Reynolds was also Debra Messing’s TV mother on the hit 90s comedy sitcom Will & Grace, appearing as Bobbi Adler in a total of ten episodes over the show’s eight-year run.
“So heartsick. Debbie went to be with Carrie. It’s such a devastating 1,2 punch. She was my “mom” for years & I loved her dearly.A legend,” Messing tweeted Wednesday.
