The 60-year-old actress and author died at 8:35 a.m on Dec. 27, Tuesday, at the UCLA Medical Center after suffering from another cardiac arrest while still on a ventilator. This made family members believe that the medical episode that happened to Fisher while on board the transatlantic flight was not a heart attack.

It was also revealed that the actress's condition never recovered during her hospitalization. Moreover, loved ones even thought of taking away her life support, but Fisher's heart stopped beating yet again that resulted in her demise, TMZ reported.

The beloved princess of the "Star Wars" mythos is said to have finished filming her part in the next film installment of the space opera film series initially known to its fandom as "Episode 8." She is also slated to reprise her role as General Leia Organa in the ninth episode of the movie franchise whose production will commence in 2018, according to Variety.

Apart from "Star Wars," Fisher also finished filming one of the episodes of the British sitcom "Catastrophe." She plays the role of Mia who is the mother of the show's main character, Rob Norris who is assumed by Rob Delaney. Showrunner and actress Sharon Horgan took to Instagram to express her grief on her co-star and friend's untimely demise.

 Carrie was my friend. It took me three series but I got her in the end. She was the most generous, fun, gifted, smart, kind, funny funny funny person I've ever met. She certainly wasn't ready to go. I'm so glad we became pals. I'm so devastated at her loss. I want to write about her more but I can't process yet.
