Billie Lourd posts an emotional tribute on Instagram to mother Carrie Fisher

"...I learned from the best..." 😭

Since the unexpected losses of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, tributes have been pouring out from every corner of the nation—but none have been as heartfelt as the ones from Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd.

The Scream Queens actress posted on Instagram for the second time since the tragedy, sharing a touching photograph of her and her mother and honoring her mother's comedic disposition.

In the post, the actress quotes her late mother's memoir, Wishful Drinking, "If my life weren't funny then it would just be true and that is unacceptable."

"Finding the funny might take a while, but I learned from the best and her voice will forever be in my head and in my heart," Lourd added.
