Fisher, of course, is a beloved figure known for her role as Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars — among other roles throughout her career.
She recently released a memoir, Princess Diarist, in which she recounts an extramarital affair with Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford on the set of the original films, something that was not previously public knowledge.
TMZ updated its original story, revealing that Fisher was transported to UCLA Medical Center after paramedics were able to get a pulse:
