Carrie Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, explains how her parenting style differs from her mom's
Carrie Fisher died almost five years ago.
Billie Lourd, the daughter of the late Carrie Fisher and granddaughter of the late Debbie Reynolds, is opening up about the grief she experienced after losing both family members so suddenly.
Fisher died on Dec. 27, 2016, and Reynolds died from a stroke barely 24 hours later.
Lourd spoke recently to the New Day podcast and explained that losing the two women she cherished most in life was "brutal."
"It was really, really brutal, and I still hesitate and stutter because it’s really hard for me," the "American Horror Story" alum admitted. "I miss my mom every day and my grandma, but really, my mom the most."
Lourd, 29, said of the "Star Wars" legend, "She was the greatest, funniest person ever. She was my best f---ing friend, ever. There’s no one who will ever be as funny as her. She is amazing."
Lourd also revealed that her mother taught her what not to do when raising her own son, Kingston Fisher, whom she welcomed last year with partner Austen Rydell.
"My main job when [my mom] was alive was taking care of her and making sure she was OK ... I was her main support," the actress said. "I grew up really fast because I was her best friend. I was her mother, I was her kid, I was her everything. And that's one of the things I'm learning not to do with my kid."
"That's one of the things that I will not do to my son is put this pressure on him that I had on me," Lourd said.
