The actress, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, went into cardiac arrest near the end of the flight. Medically-trained passengers on board administered CPR for the final 15 minutes before the plane landed at LAX.

The aircraft landed and paramedics rushed Fisher to a nearby hospital.

"We have some passengers, nurses assisting the passenger. We have an unresponsive passenger, so they're working on her right now."
