Billie Lourd Shares Sentimental Throwback Photo, Honors Carrie Fisher

May 2024 · 3 minute read

Billie Lourd has shared an especially sweet and poignant tribute to her mother online.

The actress, best known for her role on the Fox comedy Scream Queens, is the daughter of the late and great Carrie Fisher, who died at the age of 60 back on December 27.

But her influence continues to be felt and remembered by all who knew her well.

And Lourd, of course, sits at the top of that emotional list.

A few days after Fisher passed away, Lourd broke her silence on this tragedy, signing on to Instagram in order to send gratitude to her friends and followers.

“Receiving all of your prayers and kind words over the past week has given me strength during a time I thought strength could not exist,” Lourd wrote on January 2.

She also addressed the stunning death of her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, who died just one day after Fisher.

"There are no words to express how much I will miss my Abadaba and my own and only Momby," Lourd added, concluding by once again addressing her supporters:

"Your love and support means the world to me."

Now, Lourd has taken again to Instagram, this time sharing a throwback photo of when she was a child.

The pictures features Lourd and Fisher sitting in what appears to be the back of the car. Mother and daughter are smiling at the camera and leaning toward each other.

In the caption, Lourd pays tribute to Fisher’s legendary and beloved sense of humor.

"If my life weren’t funny then it would just be true and that is unacceptable," Lourd wrote, quoting her mother and then adding her own words:

"Finding the funny might take a while but I learned from the best and her voice will forever be in my head and in my heart."

What a great photo.

What a moving message.

Lourd’s message and this image come weeks after her her mother and grandmother passed away.

Since then, she has received an outpouring of support, largely her Scream Queens costars, including Taylor Lautner, who she was seen with on Monday in Los Angeles.

Lautner is “a great guy and has really been there for Billie,” an insider tells People Magazine.

Fisher and Reynolds were laid to rest in a joint funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in California this past Friday.

Reynolds was buried with some of Fisher’s ashes, which were in an urn shaped like a Prozac pill.

The veteran actress may have been best known for her role in Star Wars, but she was also widely respected and admired for how she handled her bipolar disorder.

Fisher talked openly about the illness and how she learned to cope with it.

In the last few years of her life, she was almost never seen in public without her therapy dog, Gary, by her side.

We still can’t believe she’s gone.

We continue to send our thoughts and condolences to Lourd and to Fisher’s other close friends and loved ones.
