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."

Just so sad..according to her son Todd, his Mom “Wanted to be with Carrie” and now she is
Such a sad time for this family, prayers for all.
Oh Geez.
RIP
Heartbreaking.
Prayers for the family. This is awful.
It sounds like she died of a broken heart - the stress of losing her daughter was too much.
That poor family. They are really suffering. Carrie’s daughter lost her mother and her grandmother. Her son lost his sister and his mom. I just can’t even imagine. I’ll include them in my prayers.
Prayers Up!
......and the hits just keep on comin’.
I think she died of a broken heart
Oh no. So sad.
I always liked DR and felt she was really dealt a rotten hand by the horny Hollywood culture. May she rest in peace
Very sad for their family.
Awful for the family. The mother, how do you get over a child dying, i dont care what the age?
I pray they are together.
was it the stress or can you really will yourself to die OR mentally give in to a sickness?
This does SUCK.
A Tragedy.
RIP
So very sad! Hard on the rest of the family. I lost my father and my son 2 days apart just like that. It is a shock that is difficult to get over, my prayers are with the family. RIP ladies!
Wow...I can’t even imagine what the family is going though...
