The family of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher are finding it "extremely tough" to cope with the sudden loss of both icons, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Actress Debbie died just one day after her daughter, suffering a stroke at her son Todd's house in Beverly Hills on Wednesday while discussing Carrie's funeral plans.
A source close to the late stars told RadarOnline.com: "Everyone is finding it extremely tough and those who work for Carrie and Debbie don't know what to do with themselves."
"The staff were part of one big family with Carrie and Debbie, and they are beside themselves as much as their relatives," the insider continued. "But they are also concerned about who will be in charge of them now and if they will still have jobs."
As RadarOnline.com reported, Reynolds, 84, was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday evening in L.A., and died soon after of a series of strokes. Though she was in fair health before the incident, the Singin' in the Rain actress lost her footing in the face of her daughter's sudden passing on Tuesday.
