Actress Debbie Reynolds, the mother of late “Star Wars” actress Carrie Fisher, was rushed to the hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke, said a report.

Reynolds, 84, was at her son Todd Fisher’s home in Beverly Hills, California, when someone from her house called 911, TMZ reported. Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight has confirmed the longtime actress suffered a “medical emergency on Wednesday.”

The call was made at around 1 p.m. local time. According to the website, sources close to the family told them “they called 911 to report a possible stroke.”

Reynolds—who starred in “Singin' in the Rain” in 1952 and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” in 1964—was then taken to a nearby emergency room, the report stated. She was at Todd’s home talking about funeral plans for her daughter.

Fisher, 60, died on Dec. 27 after reportedly suffering a heart attack on Dec. 23. She was on an 11-hour flight from the U.K. to Los Angeles when she suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to a hospital.

“Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter,” Reynolds wrote in a post on Facebook after Fisher’s death.

“I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop,” she wrote.
