Carrie Fisher 'stable' after cardiac arrest

25 December 201

Actress Carrie Fisher is in stable condition after suffering a cardiac arrest on Friday, her mother says.

Fisher, 60, who played Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars, is in the intensive care unit of a Los Angeles hospital. She had heart problems during a flight from London to Los Angeles, and passengers attempted to revive her with CPR.

Her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, said on Twitter: "Carrie is in stable condition. If there is a change, we will share it. For all her fans & friends. I thank you for your prayers & good wishes."

The cardiac arrest happened about 15 minutes before the plane landed in LA, celebrity news website TMZ reported. A medic who was travelling on the plane administered CPR.
Paramedics then spent a further 15 minutes administering more CPR to Fisher before getting a pulse, TMZ said.
