Billie Lourd is breaking her silence on the deaths of her mother, Carrie Fisher, and her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds.
Less than a week after the sudden passing of Fisher and Reynolds, the Scream Queens star took to Instagram on Monday morning to share a heartbreakingly sweet photo and message with the world.
"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 actress writes. "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."
The Instagram photo features Lourd as a little girl sticking out her tongue while her mother and grandmother share smiles to the camera.
Fisher died at age 60 on Dec. 27, days after going into cardiac arrest aboard a Los Angeles-bound flight from London. The following day, Reynolds died from a suspected stroke at 84 years old.
Lourd has always been candid about her close relationship with her iconic mother and grandmother. Just a few weeks ago, the blonde beauty stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyersand shared details about their family dynamic as three generations of actresses.
"First of all, she gets really upset when I get called 'Carrie Fisher's daughter.' She wants people to call me 'Debbie Reynolds' granddaughter.' It's very offensive to her," Lourd joked to Meyers of her grandmother. "She does not like to be cut out -- not at all. She started it. It's her fault [that I'm an actress.]"
Lourd, who has been starring as Chanel #3 for the past two seasons in the Fox comedy Scream Queens, made her film debut as Lieutenant Connix, opposite her mother's Princess Leia, in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Luke remembers: Mark Hamill wrote a touching guest column in The Hollywood Reporter, praising his fellow Star Wars actress Fisher. He was Luke Skywalker and she was his screen sister Princess Leia. Both lives forever changed due to the phenomenal success of the franchise ("It was like we were in a garage band together that somehow hit it huge.").
Hamill wrote about Fisher's onset antics as she would bring laughter to a sometimes tense creation of the three-film initial mega-franchse
"The lengths I would go to hear her laugh — there were no limits. I loved her and loved making her laugh. She would do these crazy things and make me do these crazy things," wrote Hamill, who showed a sometimes rocky relationship with Fisher.
"We ran the gamut over the years, where we were in love with each other, where we hated each other’s guts...We went through it all. It’s like we were a family," wrote Hamill. "My life would have been so much drabber and less interesting if she hadn’t been the friend that she was."
Chewbacca roars publicly: Star Wars actor Peter Mayhew, the man behind the Wookiee Chewbacca, paid public tribute to Fisher at the Marvelous Nerd Year’s Eve Comic Con in Dallas, according to the Dallas NBC affiliate.
“She was a princess,” Peter Mayhew told the tearful crowd filled with fans, many dressed as Princess Leia, “She can adapt to almost any situation and she did.”
