According to The Guardian,

Carrie Fisher, the actor best known as Princess Leia in Star War, has died four days after reportedly suffering a heart attack on a flight from London.

The Independent also writes,

To several generations of science fiction and movie fans she will be known simply as Princess Leia.

Whatever else Carrie Fisher did and achieved in her life, whatever battles she confronted with drug addiction, it will be her role as the Star Wars heroine for which she will be most remembered, and certainly most loved.

May she rest in peace.

Here is a quote by  her, that we love:

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
