Carrie Fisher is in "stable condition" after suffering a heart attack Friday, according to a tweet posted by her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds on Sunday.

The tweet was the first notice from family regarding the Star Wars actress' condition since news of her heart attack broke on Friday.

Fisher's brother Todd told the Associated Press that Fisher was "out of emergency" that day, though there has been little information about her condition since.

Fisher, who is 60-years-old, reportedly went into cardiac arrest while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. She was then rushed to the hospital after landing at Los Angeles International Airport.

The actress, who is perhaps best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series, has been on a book tour promoting The Princess Diarist, which takes the reader behind the scenes of the first Star Wars film.
