Debbie Reynolds was more than just a movie star. According to William Shatner, she was “one of the last of Hollywood royalty.”

Reynolds died at age 84 on Wednesday, just one day after the death of her daughter, “Star Wars” heroine Carrie Fisher. Just as they had 24 hours earlier for Fisher, celebrity tributes began flowing on Twitter — this time for the star of “Singin’ in the Rain.”

Debbie Reynolds was one of the last of Hollywood royalty,” Shatner wrote. “It breaks my heart that she is gone. I’d hoped that my grieving was done for 2016.”

“She was one of the last of the true H’wood talents: actress, singer, dancer,” wrote “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane.

Albert Brooks, who cast Reynolds in the title role of his bittersweet comedy “Mother,” was among those stunned by the timing of Reynolds’ passing: “I can’t believe this happened one day after Carrie.”
