Billie Lourd Marks 9 Years Since Carrie Fisher’s Death With Intimate Tribute

Her note frames grief as joy rooted in moments between her children and their grandfather, crediting Fisher for that happiness.

Overview

  • On Dec. 27, Lourd posted a lengthy Instagram message saying Fisher "lives on through this joy" and that she will "never stop missing" her.
  • She described an early morning with daughter Jackson followed by breakfast with her father, Bryan Lourd, whose playful bond with her kids prompted the reflection.
  • Lourd noted that two photos accompanying the post—one with Fisher and a young Billie and another with Bryan and her children—were taken in the same room 25 years apart.
  • Quoting Fisher’s line "Nothing is ever really over. Just over there," Lourd characterized the day’s feeling as "bittersweet grieful joy."
  • Fisher died on Dec. 27, 2016 at 60 after a medical emergency on a flight, and her mother Debbie Reynolds died the next day, as Lourd continues annual public remembrances including unveiling Fisher’s Walk of Fame star in 2023.
