"Sending my love and strength to everyone out there that’s missing a loved one they’ve lost..."
- On Sunday afternoon, actress Billie Lourd shared a tribute to her late mother, Carrie Fisher, on Instagram on the fourth anniversary of her death.
- Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016 and died as a result of cardiac arrest.
- "Sending my love and strength to everyone out there that’s missing a loved one they’ve lost," Lourd wrote in the post's caption. "Especially those of you who have lost someone during this crazy year. You’re not alone. ❤️"
When Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016, her millions of fans around the world were shocked and devastated. On Sunday, four years after her death, her daughter, Billie Lourd, took to Instagram to pay tribute to the iconic actress' memory.
Lourd shared a sweet throwback photo with her mom for the occasion. In the photo, Lourd and Fisher are walking together outside, leaning in toward each other and smiling for the camera. And Fisher, of course, is holding a can of Coke—famously her favorite beverage.
"⛽️®️🅰️♑️🌛♏️🅾️♏️🅱️🌱," Lourd wrote in her caption, paying homage to her mom's unique way of using little-used emojis to spell out words. "Sending my love and strength to everyone out there that’s missing a loved one they’ve lost. Especially those of you who have lost someone during this crazy year. You’re not alone. ❤️"
