Actress and writer Carrie Fisher is in critical condition after suffering a "cardiac episode," The Los Angles Times reports.

Emergency workers told the paper that Fisher, best known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital shortly after her flight landed at LAX around noon local time. TMZ was the first to report the incident, which occurred while the 60-year-old star was flying from London to Los Angeles.

United Airlines confirmed to the Times in a statement that medical personnel met Flight 935 to treat an "unresponsive passenger."

“Our thoughts are with our customer at this time,” the statement read.

The LAX police department, meanwhile, told the paper that they responded to scene, where paramedics were performing CPR on Fisher.

In addition to her work on Star Wars, Fisher is famed for acting performances in films like When Harry Met Sally. The outspoken actress' book, Postcards from the Edge, was made into a 1990 film starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine. The daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Fisher is mother to Scream Queens star Billie Lourd.
