Had difficult times after the death of mother Carrie Fisher
Losing a parent is a harrowing experience, but it's even harder when it involves Princess Leia. Billie Lourd spoke about her experiences following the tragic deaths of her mother, Carrie Fisher, and her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds. She said it was a “brutal” time for her. In 2016, Fisher died of cardiac arrest. Just a day later, Reynolds also died after a stroke. Amid the tragedy, Lourd was the one sharing updates about her family. She admitted at the time that it had not been an easy task. For the young actress, this was a "brutal" phase of her life, and the media made it even more difficult. Everything she shared became a headline that she didn't mean, Lourd said, before giving an example. The point was that after the two of them died, she said that she could now be herself. Lourd explained that this particular interview was taken out of context and reiterated that she truly loves and misses Fisher and Reynolds.
For Billie Lourd, her mother and grandmother were her favorite people in the world. She misses her every day. According to Lourd, Carrie Fischer was the most amazing and funniest person ever as a mother. She was the “best damn friend” ever. There is no one who will ever be as funny as her. She was and is incredible, says Lourd. There is also no doubt in her mind that everyone feels the same way about it. Unfortunately, one's own sense of loss may not be as great as what Lourd has endured in the past. She played Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix in the Star Wars sequel films. Additionally, the actress also portrayed the younger version of Princess Leia in Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker.
