Following the sad news that Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds passed away just a day after her daughter Carrie Fisher, this old Oprah interview with the two of them from 2011 is resurfacing online.

In the 40-minute chat, which fans can watch in full above, the duo discussed their famously complicated relationship (Fisher opened up about their tumultuous life in her semi-autobiographical novel Postcards from the Edge), and shared how they have come to such a good place.

"I've had to walk through a lot of my tears," Reynolds said about her daughter's struggles, "but she's worth it."
