Actress Debbie Reynolds, the star of the 1952 classic “Singin’ in the Rain,” has died. She was 84.
Her son, Todd Fisher, said Reynolds died Wednesday, a day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher, who was 60.
“She’s now with Carrie and we’re all heartbroken,” Fisher said from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where his mother was taken by ambulance earlier Wednesday.
He said the stress of his sister’s death “was too much” for Reynolds.
Reynolds was not yet 20 when she won a starring role in the Gene Kelly musical “Singin’ in the Rain.” She was also known for her Oscar-nominated role in another musical, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.”
Her messy divorce from singer Eddie Fisher, who left her for Elizabeth Taylor, made headlines in the late 1950s.
The love she had for her daughter brought her to death. God bless both their souls as they rest peacefully.

Debbie Reynolds was a Class A Lady. This family has lost 2 of their loved ones just hours apart! RIP to Mother and Daughter. 2016 has been a hard year for people in Hollywood.
Morning world. This is tragic, “such is the way of the world” indeed.
Met, the #3 in one week and I just notice that the mom had her at 24 and died within the 24 hr period of her passing. Death by a broken heart real.
She died of a broken heart, her love for her couldn’t let her go on without her, tears. May the Lord strengthen and comfort this family.
Very sad indeed. Lord have mercy on the son and remaining family.
