Billie Lourd Pens Emotional Tribute to Late Mom Carrie Fisher on Her 68th Birthday


Billie Lourd is honoring her mom Carrie Fisher on what would have been her 68th birthday.

On Monday (October 21), the 32-year-old Scream Queens actress penned an emotional tribute to her mother while opening up about dealing with grief, nearly 8 years after the Star Wars actress passed away on December 27, 2016 at the age of 60.

On my mom’s birthday every year, I try to celebrate her as much as possible, but today I really wanted to celebrate her with her. Some years my grief makes me feel the warmth of her love, some years it makes me angry, some years I feel numb but today when I woke up I just felt sad. I didn’t want to celebrate, I just wanted my mom,” Billie wrote on Instagram along with a throwback photo of she and Carrie.

“My sadness bodysnatched me so I googled ‘average death age woman’ (ooohhh what a fun google billie!!!” Billie continued. “I promise the rest of my google search history has a sliightly more fun vibe?!) and google said it was 80.2. My mom died when she was 60. 60 is too damn young to die. I then googled drug overdose deaths (another fun morning google!!!) and it is over 100 thousand people per year.”

Billie then talked about dealing with her mom’s drug addiction over the years before her passing.

“I did everything in my power to help my mom get sober but sadly my mom couldn’t ever escape her addiction. But while she was alive she always shared the ups and downs of that struggle with others in hopes it would help them escape their own addiction,” Billie shared. “As an addict, being open about the struggle is the only way through. And same goes for those of us affected by that struggle. Sending my love to anyone out there who has lost someone to drug addiction. You are not alone. ❤

Last year, Billie was joined by one of Carrie‘s Star Wars co-stars while attending her mom’s Walk of Fame ceremony.
