Billie Lourd Honors Her Late Mom Carrie Fisher With Emotional Birthday Post: ’60 Is Too Damn Young to Die’

Billie Lourd paid tribute to Carrie Fisher on what would’ve been her mother’s 68th birthday. The “Star Wars” icon died on Dec. 27, 2016, at the age of 60.
“Dead person birthdays are weird to say the least,” Lourd wrote on Instagram Monday. “On my mom’s birthday every year, I try to celebrate her as much as possible, but today I really wanted to celebrate her with her. Some years my grief makes me feel the warmth of her love, some years it makes me angry, some years I feel numb but today when I woke up I just felt sad. I didn’t want to celebrate, I just wanted my mom.”
Lourd added that, amid her grief, she googled the average age of death among women, which is listed at 80.2 years. “My mom died when she was 60. 60 is too damn young to die,” the “Booksmart” actor said.
