Celebrities React to Carrie Fisher's Death
Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams and more mourn the loss
Carrie Fisher passed away Tuesday, and the world felt the loss. In a year of devastating celebrity deaths, Fisher's is one of the hardest.
Not only did Fisher famously play Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise, but she was a respected author and -- perhaps most importantly -- an advocate for bipolar disorder, which she suffered from.
While we mourn Fisher's death, those who knew her best took to social media to share their thoughts.

I'm deeply saddened at the news of Carrie's passing. She was a dear friend, whom I greatly respected and admired. The force is dark today!

I thought I had got what I wanted under the tree. I didn't. In spite of so many thoughts and prayers from so many. I am very, very sad.

Carrie Fisher was smart, funny, talented, surprising, and always a hell of a fun time to be around. Family Guy will miss her immensely.
