Actor Harrison Ford responded to the death of his “Star Wars” co-star, Carrie Fisher, amid an outpouring of grief from many others involved in the classic science fiction films.
Fisher, 60, died on Dec. 27, days after she was admitted to the hospital due to a reported heart attack on a Los Angeles-bound plane.
In a statement, Ford, 74, described the actress who played Princess Leia as “one of a kind.”
“Carrie was one-of-a-kind… brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely,” Ford told EW.com. “My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her mother Debbie, her brother Todd, and her many friends. We will all miss her.”
