The "Singin' in the Rain" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" actress Debbie Reynolds died on Dec. 28 at least one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher expired. She died at the age of 84.

"She went to be with Carrie. In fact, those were the last words she spoke this morning," her son Todd Fisher told E! News adding that his sister's death was too much for his mother. Reynolds was a bubbly theater and TV actress, a dancer and a pop star and had an almost 70-year old career.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds was brought to the emergency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after enduring a stroke at a Beverly Hills home. Upon her daughter's passing, she thanked her and her daughter's fans for their all out support although she had been out from the public in her last year with concerns about her health.

A few years earlier, she lost her husband, pop singer Eddie Fisher to actress Elizabeth Taylor. In November, she didn't attend to accept her Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at Governor's Awards for her charitable works and mental health causes support but her granddaughter Billie Lourd accepted the award on her behalf.

Reynolds said that she was heartbroken for not being able to attend the prestigious awards to receive the extraordinary honor she was given as she was just recovering from surgery at that time. Her sentimental ballad ‘Tammy' was a number one single, which topped her own NBC sitcom for a season and was active with her tours on stage and showroom performances for decades.

She was best known for singing and dancing into Gene Kelly's and America's as Kathy Selden in "Singin' in the Rain" in 1952, which she became as the national treasure of one of the most famous movie musicals of all time and got in the number five spot on American Film Institute of the best films ever created.
