“Receiving all of your prayers and kind words over the past week has given me strength during a time I thought strength could not exist,” the 24-year-old captioned a photo of herself as a young girl with the two iconic actresses. “There are no words to express how much I will miss my Abadaba and my one and only Momby. Your love and support means the world to me,” she wrote.

One day after Fisher’s death, her mother, Hollywood legend Reynolds, died in Los Angeles at the age of 84. The Singin’ in the Rain star had been rushed to the hospital for what is believed to be a stroke while planning Fisher’s funeral at her son Todd Fisher’s home in Beverly Hills. Todd told the Associated Press that his mother’s last words were that she wanted to be with Carrie. 

Lourd’s Scream Queens costars Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele and John Stamos all sent her their support on social media last week. Her costar Taylor Lautner also sent his love, captioning a photo of the duo: “This girl is one of the strongest, most fearless individuals I’ve ever met. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. I’m lucky to know you.” The Twilight star, who joined the Fox horror comedy this year, and Billie sparked dating rumors after they were seen kissing last month.

This girl is one of the strongest, most fearless individuals I’ve ever met. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. I’m lucky to know you @praisethelourd .. ❤️, me.
