Fisher was hospitalized on Friday after going into cardiac arrest on a trans-Atlantic flight to Los Angeles. Her brother, Todd Fisher, told ABC News at the time that she was in the intensive care unit and that the family was staying positive.

"We just need to tell everybody to keep the prayers up because the doctors are doing everything they can for her right now," he said. "She's a real survivor and always has been, and I would expect the best from this. That's how we're approaching it."

On Saturday, Reynolds wrote on her Facebook page that Fisher was "stable," although her medical condition was unclear.

"To all her friends and fans, I thank you all for your prayers and good wishes," she wrote.
