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."

Indeed it does.
2016 was so bad, it even got Abe Vigoda.
Oh, my gosh, the poor daughter of Carrie Fisher, Billie Lourd, has lost her mother and grandmother in two days. She must be devastated.
Very sad.
Yep, just saw it.
MSNBC is carrying this ....
SO sad.
I’m no prophet, but I was wondering if she would survive without any will to after the stroke, even if it wasn’t a very severe one, as first reported.
My aunt lost a daughter at 18 to cancer. TEN people in the country had that kind of cancer.
She was never the same. That was maybe 25 years ago. The father fared much better and I wonder why?
Does that make him cold or just different?
“2016 was so bad, it even got Abe Vigoda.”
But Keith Richards still lives!
Yes, prayers up.
A double tragedy of classic proportions. Our prayers that the family can endure such pain.
Lock Betty White in a closet seriously can 2016 end already..other than Donald Trump becoming President this year has pretty much sucked
This really hurts. I was afraid this would happen.
This really hurts. I was afraid this would happen.
Broken heart syndrome is a real thing. Usually it takes a few weeks or a few months.
Good bless you. My mom and dad, three weeks apart.
I can see it now, "Mom?!?!?! What are you doing here?"
RIP Debbie Reynolds may the Lord Angels surround you. I pray that you are reunited with Carrie.
2016 needs to go the &$@^ away already. Happy about DJT being elected POTUS. All the deaths of singers and actors from my teenage years...not so much. Death needs to go on and take an EXTENDED holiday. Still, no parent should have to bury a child. It is not the natural order of things.
Prayers up for their dwindling family. They will be needed in the weeks/months/years to come.
She lived a long eventful life.
It is sad that she had to see her Daughter go.
