LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher, actress Debbie Reynolds died Wednesday after being rushed to a hospital, her son, Todd Fisher, confirmed to Variety.
"She missed her daughter and wanted to very much be with her and she had discussed some other things," Todd Fisher told Entertainment Tonight. "She had been very strong the last several days. (There was) enormous stress on her, obviously, and this morning, she said those words to me and 15 minutes later she had a stroke and virtually left."
TMZ reported Wednesday afternoon that Reynolds, 84, was at her son Todd Fisher's Los Angeles house discussing funeral plans for her daughter, Carrie Fisher. Fisher died Tuesday after going into cardiac arrest Friday on a United Airlines flight.
Fisher told KABC his mother was "not OK" after being taken to the hospital.
