And Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo in \"Stars Wars,\" said in a statement Tuesday, \"Carrie was one-of-a-kind … brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely ... My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her mother Debbie, her brother Todd and her many friends. We will all miss her.\"

Bob Iger, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Walt Disney Co. — the corporate parent of Lucasfilm, which produces the \"Stars Wars\" films — said in a statement, \"Carrie Fisher was one of a kind, a true character who shared her talent and her truth with us all with her trademark wit and irreverence. Millions fell in love with her as the indomitable Princess Leia; she will always have a special place in the hearts of 'Star Wars' fans as well as all of us who were lucky enough to know her personally.\" (The Walt Disney Co. is also ABC News' corporate parent.)

Other celebrities — from William Shatner to Ellen DeGeneres to Seth MacFarlane — took to Twitter to express their sadness.

.@CarriefFisher was a brilliant writer, actor, and friend. She was so much fun. I can't believe she's gone. https://t.co/wpxGvBWA0b

Such a sad day for her family, friends and millions of fans. Carrie Fisher is deeply missed.

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

Carrie Fisher \"Ugh,will everybody stop all of this?\"
Us \"no, let us gush, you just have to take it\"

R.I.P. Carrie Fisher. Seeing her again on talk shows was such a thrill. So hilarious & fearless when she was being herself.
