The 60 year old Carrie Fisher suffered cardiac arrest mid-flight while returning to Los Angeles from England, where she was on a book tour for her latest biography The Princess Diarist.
Carrie Fisher will next be seen on the big screen in Star Wars 8 when it hits theaters this time next year, returning once again to reprise her role as General Leia.
Other members of the Star Wars family have also responded in kind to send Fisher well wishes over the Christmas break.
It was a much talked about topic of discussion as Fisher launched her book tour.
