Disney pulls Star Wars from 2026 release calendar, Ice Age 6 takes the spot

Hollywood star Carrie Fisher&nbsp;-- best known for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the wildly popular Star Wars&nbsp;films -- died Tuesday, days after suffering a heart attack on a transatlantic flight.

The 60-year-old actress had been in intensive care in a Los Angeles hospital after collapsing on the jetliner from London on Friday.

&quot;It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning,&quot; family spokesman Simon Halls told AFP in a&nbsp;statement on behalf of Fisher&#39;s daughter. &quot;She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly.&quot;

Hopes had been raised for Fisher&#39;s recovery after her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, told her Twitter followers on Sunday her daughter was in stable condition.

Fisher was catapulted to worldwide stardom as&nbsp;the royal rebel Princess Leia in the original Star Wars&nbsp;trilogy, which has been a cultural phenomenon since the release of the films from 1977 to 1983.

She had just finished filming the third season of her latest screen project, the Amazon comedy television series Catastrophe,&nbsp;which is set in London. She had also been on a publicity tour for her new book, The Princess Diarist,&nbsp;which made headlines because she wrote about a three-month affair with Harrison Ford&nbsp;while they were filming the original Star Wars&nbsp;trilogy.

Co-stars, friends and fans added their voices on Tuesday to a torrent of tributes from Hollywood for Star Wars&nbsp;actress Carrie Fisher, after she died of a heart attack at the age of 60. Here is a selection:

Family

&quot;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.&quot; - Fisher&#39;s mother, the actress Debbie Reynolds

&quot;She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly.&quot; - Simon Halls on behalf of Fisher&rsquo;s daughter, Billie Lourd
