CBS New York: Actress Debbie Reynolds Rushed To Hospital For Medical Emergency

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) -- Actress Debbie Reynolds has been rushed to the hospital for a medical emergency, CBS New York confirms.

The 84-year-old Reynolds is the mother of Carrie Fisher, who died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack last week on a flight from London to Los Angeles.

Reynolds' son, Todd Fisher, did not answer a call or return messages from The Associated Press. Representatives for Reynolds did not immediately respond to inquiries.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart told the AP paramedics transported a woman from a home in the Coldwater Canyon neighborhood where her son lives in fair to serious condition.

She could not confirm it was Reynolds, citing medical privacy laws.

Reynolds' condition is currently not known.
