Debbie Reynolds -- who rose to stardom in "Singin' in the Rain" and quickly became a staple among Hollywood royalty -- died Wednesday as a result of a stroke, TMZ has learned ... just one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher passed away ... this according to her son Todd. Debbie was rushed to a hospital shortly after 1 PM when someone at the Beverly Hills home of her son, Todd, called 911 to report a possible stroke. We're told Debbie and Todd were making funeral plans for Carrie, who died Tuesday of cardiac arrest.
Debbie famously divorced Eddie Fisher in 1959 after his affair with Elizabeth Taylor. Debbie married 2 more times in 1960 and 1984. She played iconic roles in "Tammy and the Bachelor" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" ... for which she earned an Oscar nomination. Carrie's relationship with Debbie was the focus of Carrie's semi-autobiographical book, "Postcards from the Edge," which was later adapted for the big screen, starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine. Debbie's survived by her son Todd, who tells us, "She's with Carrie."

So sad.
You ever watch a fireworks show? You know how at the end, there’s a Grand Finale? I think 2016 intends to go out with a bang.
Debbie Reynolds probably wanted to be with her during the years Carrie Fisher refused to speak with her too. Families are complicated.
I liked Debbie Reynolds. Carrie Fisher, a little less so.

Appears so far only TMZ is reporting this, no other news networks have picked it up yet.
Iirc Debbie was once in business with Ivana Trump
Someone mentioned earlier how Carrie Fisher would do a bit where she said her mother always tried to upstage her.
This may have been one of those times.
Broken hearts can take the life right out of a person, figuratively and/or literally.
CNN has it right now.
Good God! 2016 strikes again!!!!
What’ll the next 3 days bring??
Oh no!
This really makes me sad! Such a great spunky lady - wasn’t she still running shows in LV and her museum?
Poor family. This is unbearable.
