Billie Lourd Celebrates Star Wars Day with a Heartfelt Tribute to her Late Mother, Carrie Fisher
Billie Lourd, the actress best known for her role in "American Horror Stories," took to social media to honor her legendary mother, Carrie Fisher, on the special "Star Wars" day, May 4th. The 32-year-old shared a touching Instagram snapshot showing her children, four-year-old Kingston and two-year-old Jackson, watching Fisher in "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" from 1983.
The visual depicts the siblings, wide-eyed and mesmerized, as they witnessed their grandmother in action during the iconic star battle. The photography was captured by none other than their proud daughter, Billie Lourd herself.
Fans couldn't help but feel emotional in the comments section. One fan wrote, "Your mother forever inspired generations. Watching her shine through the eyes of her grandchildren is a powerful moment." Another fan commented, "Showing her children her legacy is the best education they could receive. We'll always love Carrie."
Lourd has been remembering her mother since Fisher's death in 2016. Last year, she shared her feelings on Instagram for Fisher's birthday, writing, "Although I try to celebrate my mother's birthday as much as possible, today I just wanted to celebrate with her." Some years, the sorrow is overwhelming, while others she fumes with anguish, and some years she simply feels numb. But on this day, she simply felt sad. "I didn't want to celebrate," she shared, "I just wanted my mother."
