Graham Norton has posted a touching tribute to Carrie Fisher, as the news of her death broke yesterday evening.
The chat show host had interviewed the Star Wars actress a number of times and considered her a great friend.
In fact, the 60-year-old made her final TV appearance on The Graham Norton Show just weeks ago.
Taking to Twitter, Graham wrote, “Numb. Unbelievable that such a bright funny loving spark could be extinguished. @carrieffisher you will be missed. I wish you peace.”
