Rest in peace.

Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds has died at the age of 84 years old, just one day after the death of her daughter, Carrie Fisher.

Reynolds, a businesswoman and actor who’s work included Singin’ In The Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Behind The Candelabra, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after it’s believed she suffered a stroke.

Her son Todd Fisher announced her death, telling press, “she’s now with Carrie and we’re all heartbroken.” According to TMZ, Reynolds had said while organising plans for her daughter’s funeral, “I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie.”

Here’s Reynolds on one of the most iconic scenes of her career, dancing opposite fellow legends Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor during ‘Good Morning’ from 1952’s Singin’ In The Rain…
