This breaks my heart.
I really hope Billie and the rest of the family have a strong support system during this incredibly difficult time.

Nobody ruins my family vacation but me...and maybe the boy!
RIP :(

I'm guessing losing Carrie took a toll on her both physically and emotionally :(

I'm glad that Billie was able to be in the new Star Wars movies with her mom, I hope that the entire crew all come together to support her during this time. She's only a few months older than me, and I know there's no way I would be able to handle this situation.

I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said. I can't imagine for a moment how utterly surreal it must be for Billie and the rest of the family amidst the double whammy of these heartbreaking couple of days. Just...damn.

RIP, Debbie, and thank you for everything.

Holy shit. A pair of devastating, iconic losses for film and pop culture. What a tragedy for their family.

R.I.P. Debbie.

Damn. Can't help but feel for that family and not even because they were famous. Any family losing a daughter and mother in a 36 hour span is just awful.

With the way communication technology has developed this will probably be very true.

EDIT: She loved her daughter very much, must have been imaginably difficult for her. I remember with the case of my grandparents that after my grandfather died, my grandmother (who was in fairly decent health for her age) went right after. Horrible stuff. :/

The thing is, I can't recall any other year in which there has been such a body count among celebrities of my youth. 2009 probably springs to mind with the deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Patrick Swayze. This one, with the deaths of David Bowie, Prince, Gene Wilder, Alan Rickman, Leonard Cohen, Muhammad Ali among others. This has been a really shitty year. I really can't imagine that 2017 could possibly be worse. These types of deaths have always come in drips and drabs -- usually 2 or 3 per year. But this year feels like everyone decided to check out at once.

Losing a mother and grandmother in two days, I just couldn't even fathom the pain I would feel. I hope Billie and her extended family are keeping strong.

I keep hearing that we will see more of this as celebrities are aging. Still, its sad.

The thing is you're not far off. At her age a traumatic event like losing your daughter takes a huge toll on your body. Everything is so sad right now.

Yeah I know, I meant what I said. I've seen it happen before to other people.

RIP. Being a kid that grew up on Disney channel. I'll always know her as grandma Aggie from the Halloweentown movies. I didn't even know she was Carrie Fisher's mother until I was almost an adult. Really feel sorry for Billie and the rest of the family.

I just can't get over how depressing the last two days have been.

Carrie and Debbie were two of my favorite actresses and it's just so surreal that they're both gone in the span of two days.
