American actress Debbie Reynolds has passed away aged 84, just a day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher.
The Hollywood icon, who was known for roles in 'Singin' in the Rain', 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown' and TV show 'Will and Grace', was taken to hospital after suffering a stroke one day after 'Star Wars' actress Carrie Fisher died aged 60.
Reynolds's death was confirmed by her son Todd Fisher, who said: 'The last thing she said this morning was that she was very, very sad about losing Carrie and that she would like to be with her again. Fifteen minutes later she suffered a severe stroke.'
Reynolds had paid tribute to her daughter the day before, posting this message on Facebook: 'Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop.'
Hollywood co-stars, friends and fans have been quick to pay tribute to actress and singer Reynolds:
Debbie Reynolds, a legend and my movie mom. I can't believe this happened one day after Carrie. My heart goes out to Billie.

Debbie Reynolds was one of the last of Hollywood Royalty. It breaks my heart that she is gone. I'd hoped that my grieving was done for 2016.

There is nothing harder than having to bury a child. Debbie died of a broken heart, but she's with her daughter now. https://t.co/G3pcQCoViK
