Billie Lourd, daughter of Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher, has marked the ninth anniversary of her mother’s death with a heartfelt tribute on social media. In a post shared on Instagram, the Scream Queens actress reflected on the lasting influence Fisher has had on her life, writing that she will “never stop missing you” as she remembers the late actor’s legacy. Lourd, 33, who’s married to fellow actor Austen Rydell, said moments of joy she now experiences with her own children would not exist without Fisher. She described watching her father with her kids as one of her greatest sources of happiness, and credited her mother for being the reason that joy is possible. The tribute included family photographs taken in the same room decades apart, highlighting the continuity of love across generations. Lourd also acknowledged how her grief evolves over time, labelling it “bittersweet” as she celebrated her mother’s life. Fisher, famed for her portrayal of Princess Leia, died at age 60 in December 2016; her mother, Debbie Reynolds, passed away one day later.
