Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker actress Billie Lourd poses in a bikini… before tribute to mom Carrie Fisher and grandmother Debbie Reynolds
Billie Lourd is in the big hit film Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker this month.
And to celebrate, the 27-year-old blonde beauty took to Instagram to show off her figure in a bikini.
This comes before the Hollywood veteran shared a tribute to her mother Carrie Fisher – who is also in the latest Star Wars epic thanks to clever editing – and her grandmother Debbie Reynolds died within days of one another in 2016.

She is grateful: In her caption, the actress said she felt blessed
The star has clearly been missing her family this holiday season.
‘Happy holidays! (But also sad/emotional/weird/stressful holidays!),’ the actress wrote on Instagram in a caption alongside a picture of her as a baby besides Fisher and Reynolds.
She continued: ‘Sending my love to everyone who has lost someone they loved and is missing them a little extra today. I see you. It’s okay if everything ain’t all merry and bright. It can be a mix of all of it. And it’s all okay.’

Looking back with love: Lourd took to social media on Christmas Wednesday to a picture of her as a baby besides her late mother Carrie Fisher and grandmother Debbie Reynolds, with advice for people who are missing their loved ones on the holiday
Lourd, who’s been seen on Scream Queens and American Horror Story, advised her followers not to shy away from their memories of their loved ones, encouraging them to immerse themselves in the memories.
‘Feel all the feelings – the good and the not so good. Eat something delish they used to love,’ she said. ‘Put on one of their favorite songs. Tell a story about them. Cry about them.’
She continued: ‘Call one of their friends you haven’t talked to in a while. Be kind and patient with yourself. Don’t grieve in silence. You’re not alone.’
Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars anthology, died at 60 on December 27 at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, four days after she had a heart attack on a December 23, 2016 flight from London to Los Angeles.
Lots of love: Lourd posed with her late mom Fisher in June 2011 in Beverly Hills
Her mother and Billie’s grandmother, Singin’ in the Rain star Debbie Reynolds, died at 84 after a stroke December 28 as she was planning Fisher’s memorial.
Autopsy results from the Los Angeles County coroner’s office released in June of 2017 pointed to sleep apnea as Fisher’s cause of death, noting that she had drugs in her system at the time.
Lourd acknowledged such in a statement she gave to People, pointing out how Fisher was candid about her battle with addiction in hopes to help others.
‘My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life,’ she said. ‘She ultimately died of it. She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases. She talked about the shame that torments people and their families confronted by these diseases.’
Lourd continued: ‘I know my Mom, she’d want her death to encourage people to be open about their struggles. Seek help, fight for government funding for mental health programs. Shame and those social stigmas are the enemies of progress to solutions and ultimately a cure. Love you Momby.’
