"It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning," publicist Simon Halls told E! News in a statement Tuesday. "She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly."

The 60-year-old actress died after going into cardiac arrest during a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday. She was transported to the UCLA Medical Center where she later passed away.
