Raised by Goddesses

“It was incredible,” Lourd said during The Ellen DeGeneres Show on September 12 about her appearance alongside her mom in The Last Jedi. “I’m a big believer of things happening for a reason, and I think I ended up in that movie for a reason. It was really incredible for us to get to have that experience together.” Lourd, who also lost her grandmother Debbie Reynolds, a day later on December 28, 2016, added: “I got a lot of goddesses [in my life].”

The Best Advice

After Fisher’s passing, Lourd shared an adorable throwback photo of them together on Instagram on January 11. “‘If my life weren't funny then it would just be true and that is unacceptable,’” she wrote. “Finding the funny might take a while but I learned from the best and her voice will forever be in my head and in my heart.”

More Than Perfect

The 25-year-old paid tribute to her late mother at the Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, Florida, on April 13, while wearing a Princess Leia-inspired dress. “My mom used to say she never knew where Princess Leia ended and Carrie Fisher began. She went from being an unknown actress, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, to Princess Leia,” Lourd said. “She was imperfect in many ways, but her imperfections and willingness to speak about them are what made her more than perfect. My mom, like Leia, wasn’t ever afraid to speak her mind and say things that might have made most people uncomfortable, but not me and not you. That was why she loved you because you accepted and embraced all of her.”

Life Lessons

The American Horror Story star also shared during her speech one of the many lessons her late mother taught her. “She taught me by her own example, that the most evolved person is seemingly a contradiction — they are both the strongest and the most vulnerable person in the room,” Lourd said. “And that was her. That is Leia.”

A Legend

Lourd shared a photo of one of her favorite memories with her mom — their trips to Disneyland! “My mom and I went to Disneyland so much that I now realize she may have loved it even more than I did," she wrote with a throwback photo on Instagram on July 15. "Thank you so much to @disney for making my mom the ultimate Disney combo: a princess and now a legend."

Incredible Support

Lourd opened up about her last in-person interaction with her mother during an interview for Town & Country’s September issue. “The last time I saw her in person, this episode of Scream Queens was on, and it was a big episode for me. I had tons of scenes, and I was so hard on myself about it — I hated how I looked, hated my performance. I was really frustrated,’” she said. “She told me, ‘Come over right now. I want to watch this with you.’ And she made me sit down and watch it, and she forced me to see the good parts. She was incredible like that. But she was really hard on me, saying, ‘Shut up, you’re great in this. Have faith in yourself. Be more confident.’”

Her Role Model

Lourd also talked about her mother, who was known for her honesty. “Now, looking back and watching her interviews, I try to model what I do after her," Lourd told Town & Country. ”She was so good at it. She would get so annoyed with me if I ever did a fake interview. She'd say, 'Tell the real story.'"

Unconditional Love

Fisher also left behind her French Bulldog, Gary. The Scream Queens alum told Us Weekly that she and Fisher share a deep love for their pets. “Me and my mom have a problem of maybe getting too intimate with our dogs. We really get so close to our animals,” she told Us in October. “We really share that trait and I have Tina and she’s my only pet and I love her so, so much.”
