Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie Fisher died within a day of each other

The family of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher are reportedly planning a joint memorial service.

The Singin' In The Rain star, 84, died from a suspected stroke on Wednesday, while grieving for her daughter Fisher, who died just a day earlier.

Fisher, 60, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series, died after suffering a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles.

Todd Fisher told the New York Daily News a joint service was "likely".

Reynolds' son said: "It's what we want to do, but we're still working on the mechanics.

"We like the idea, if it's at all possible. I think it's appropriate."
