The iconic actress was on a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday when she had the heart attack, and was taken to the hospital when the plane landed.
Just on Sunday, Christmas Day, her mom, Debbie Reynolds, tweeted about how her daughter was fine. "Carrie is in stable condition," the 84-year-old wrote at the time. "If there is a change, we will share it. For all her fans & friends. I thank you for your prayers & good wishes."
