Actress Carrie Fisher known best for her portrayal of Princess Leia in Star Wars has suffered a serious heart attack and currently remains in intensive care.
According to initial reports, Fisher suffered a major heart attack on-board a United Airlines flight 15 minutes before she was scheduled to land in California.
Her brother, Todd Fisher told Variety that her condition has since stabilized but that Doctors have not updated them on whether or not her condition is improving or getting worse.
