Debbie Reynolds has died after being rushed to the hospital Wednesday, her son told The Associated Press. She was 84.

Earlier in the day, TMZ and the Los Angeles Times said she suffered a medical emergency.

It's been a tragic week for the iconic Hollywood family. Reynolds lost her daughter, Carrie Fisher, on Tuesday. Fisher died at a Los Angeles hospital days after suffering a heart attack on a plane last week. She was 60.

TMZ said Wednesday morning Reynolds was at her son Todd Fisher's home in Beverly Hills planning her daughter's funeral and may have suffered a stroke. The outlet reported Reynolds had been distraught since Fisher's health declined last Friday.

The Los Angeles Times also reported Reynolds was rushed to the hospital, adding that she complained of breathing problems.

Carrie Fisher's death: What we know now

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Reynolds; her 24-year-old granddaughter, Billie Lourd; and Joely Fisher, Carrie Fisher's half-sister.

The Oscar-nominated actress had given periodic updates on Fisher while her daughter lay in the hospital, first telling fans Fisher was "stable" and on Tuesday confirming her death with a touching note.

"Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop. Love Carries Mother," she wrote on Facebook.

Reynolds previously suffered a stroke in 2015, which Fisher referenced in an interview with People in May while discussing her new documentary, Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds  (which her mother participated in). “It’s a lot of times terrifying, but watching my mother, who’s incredibly resilient, coping with certain health issues that she’s had,” Fisher said of Reynolds. “We were really lucky we got really what probably could be her last (big project)."

In June, Reynolds' son Todd told ABC News that "when (Reynolds) was in the hospital and barely recovering from an operation, she had a small stroke."

"On the lot at Warner Brothers. This was the first day of my new life -- new name, new career." Before her MGM days, Reynolds was scouted by Solly Baiano of Warner Brothers while competing for Miss Burbank 1948, right around her 16th birthday. She was given a seven- year contract.

"Grabbing a bite on the lot at MGM between dance rehearsals for 'Singin' in the Rain' -- lots of work. Mother packed my lunch when I went to the studio." The 1952 musical was her first lead role. Debbie Reynolds.

"My favorite picture of me with Daddy, at my first wedding in 1955." Reynolds married singer Eddie Fisher in 1955. They had two children, Carrie and Todd. Debbie Reynolds

"It was her story. It was not my story," said Reynolds. "We've had our ups and downs, and we survived it all."

In 2015, she told USA TODAY there was one screen character she related to the most: the indomitable, outspoken heroine of 1964's The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

"I feel akin to that character who says, 'I ain't down yet,' " said Reynolds. "In life, I'm like Molly Brown. I've had tough times along the way and gone through experiences that many women have gone through. But I ain't down yet."

Reynolds was married three times, to singer Eddie Fisher (1955 to 1959), the father of Carrie and Todd; to businessman Harry Karl (1960 to 1973); and to real estate developer Richard Hamlett (1984 to 1996).
