I don't even know what to say...

RIP.

 

[RocknRola]

Wow. That poor family. Holy crap. This is just awful

 

[Ragnarsson]

This is terrible, just terrible. RIP, Debbie...

 

[slit]

Debbie's death is because of heartbreak, pure and simple. She'll be missed!

 

[Shizuka]

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time


Maybe not her most memorable role, but for me it is.

Thanks for sharing this.

 

[Cranster]

At least she didn't have to live through burying her daughter

Unfortunately her grandkids have to not only bury their mother but both their mother and grandmother in the same week.

I feel really bad for the family.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Oh my god, poor family

Rest in peace.

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Wow, i am speechless.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

This might be the most surreal thing ever. Princess Leia's mother died of a broken heart. I'm praying for them.

 

[fallengorn]

My thoughts are with her family. Just a terrible, terrible week.

RIP.

 

[Sojgat]

RIP

This is just horrible.

 

[Ray Wonder]

I'm struggling to think of something sadder. I mean, she died from pure sadness. This is crazy.

 

[Obliterator]

Jesus Fucking Christ. Heartbreaking to see. So damn sad.

RIP

This is without a doubt due to Carrie's passing. You see this happen with old long time couples as well where they will pass away in very close proximity to one another.

 

[Mortemis]

Really depressing, my heart goes out to their family after such a week.

RIP

 

[The Last One]

I don't even know what to say. Sending my prayers to Fisher's family.

RIP

 

[jrush64]

Dang man... thats so awful. RIP Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher

 

[KSweeley]

Shit!!!! RIP!!!!

 

[SteveO409]

Not trying to be rude but did they bury carrie fisher yet? Having 2 buried at the same time would be ideal for the family. I can't imagine burying a love one and then have the emotions to bury another close one a few days later

 

[Cormano]

Dear God, RIP.

 

[B.K.]

Not trying to be rude but did they bury carrie fisher yet?

No. She was at her son's house planning the funeral when she had the stroke.

 

[echoshifting]

I don't even know what to say. Rest in peace Debbie.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Always comes in threes.

Fucking hell. RIP.

Probably not, given Carrie only just died yesterday and Debbie's stroke happened during them going over funeral plans.

 

[RipperGrim]

Just fucked up

 

[El Topo]

I don't know what to say. May she rest in peace.

According to TMZ, she was at Carrie Fisher's son's home making funeral plans when she had the stroke.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

This is just fucking ridiculous now. The poor family. RIP.

 

[Josh5890]

God must either have a sense of humor or the grim reaper is just toying with us.

Either way, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I couldn't imagine feeling the loss of two family members at the same time.

 

[D'@rtagnan]

RIP.
Singin' in the Rain was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid :-(

 

[PowderedToast]

very sad

 

[toastyToast]

As if one death wasn't enough. Feel terrible for the family.

They were in the middle of planning the funeral

No. Debbie was at her son's house planning Carrie's funeral together when she had her stroke.

Icon

Do yourself a favor and see Singing in the Rain. Absolute classic that totally holds up.

Yes, do this. It has two of the most iconic dance numbers with Singing in the Rain and Make Them Laugh.

Debbie was also great in it.

[Big Nikus]

I... I have no words.
I was still crying for the passing of Carrie when I read this...
I can't... oh fuck

Thought it would be fitting. RIP to them both :'(

Thanks for sharing this.

 

[OmnipotentO]

Fucking hell... this is some fucked up shit. My condolences to the family.

 

[Serenitynow]

Very very tragic news. TMZ reporting:

Debbie Reynolds seemingly willed her own death Wednesday, telling her son hours before the stroke that claimed her life, "I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie."

Todd Fisher tells us Debbie cracked early Wednesday morning from grief. She was at Todd's home during the morning hours, talking about Carrie's funeral, when she made the comment. Fifteen minutes later she had the stroke.

Crazy. If there is a life after this one, I'm hopeful she is with her daughter.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Maaan this is ridiculous. Her daughter just passed and now she too is gone.

Rest in peace.

 

[N° 2048]

Man oh man, poor family...

 

[antonz]

Tragic situation for a heart broken family. News just reported that her last words had been as stated above that she wanted to be with Carrie.

 

[sphagnum]

FUCKING COME ON

GODDAMIT

 

[OricWindstar]

Carrie, watching her mother from the wings.

What a fantastic (and now tragic) picture.

Watched Singin' in the Rain just last week in preparation for La La Land. No one else needs to say it, but she was phenomenal.

 

[Da-Kid]

Damn...

 

[RangerX]

Wow. Their family has been through so much.RIP

Damn.

I feel really bad for the family.

Of course, their loved ones are having a very, very shitty week

 

[Bulzeeb]

man thats hard, what are the chances that the stroke came as a result of seeing her daugther dead, hope the family can hold together after this

 

[MikeHattsu]

Very very tragic news. TMZ reporting:

God damn. RIP

The thing is you're not far off. At her age a traumatic event like losing your daughter takes a huge toll on your body. Everything is so sad right now.
