Updated 6 p.m.: Debbie Reynolds has died, her son Todd Fisher tells the Associated Press.

Debbie Reynolds, 84 and the mother of Carrie Fisher who died on Tuesday, was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday, according to TMZ.

"Family sources" tell the website that 911 was called "to report a possible stroke" while Reynolds was at her son Todd Fisher's home in Beverly Hills.

TMZ says that they have "learned Debbie's condition when she was taken to the hospital was listed as 'fair to serious.'"

Like her daughter, Reynolds is a well-known actor. She was born Mary Frances Reynolds in El Paso, Texas. She's appeared in films since the 1950s, notably, "Singin' in the Rain" and "These Old Broads," a movie she starred in with Elizabeth Taylor, written and directed by her daughter, Fisher, which poked fun at her relationship with Eddie Fisher, Carrie Fisher's father.

Fisher's death at age 60 has caused an outpouring of sadness over the death of the writer and actress who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars movies.

Reynolds was also distraught over the death of her daughter. On Tuesday she wrote on Facebook, "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. Love Carries Mother."
