Carrie Fisher has been nominated for a posthumous Emmy award for her role as the acerbic mother Mia in Catastrophe.
The actress, who is best known for her iconic Princess Leia role in Star Wars, died in December last year.
She has been nominated in the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category for her role in the third season of Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's much-loved show.
Catastrophe co-creator and star Sharon Horgan took to Twitter to say she was "very happy and sad and proud and messed up and delighted" about Fisher's nomination.

Fisher has previously been nominated for Emmys on two occasions, one in the same category in 2008 for her guest role on 30 Rock, and in 2011 she was nominated for best variety, music or comedy special for a taped version of her one-woman play Wishful Drinking.
Fisher had finished filming scenes for Catastrophe's third season shortly before her death in December. The 60-year-old actress suffered a major heart attack during a transatlantic flight from London to Los Angeles and died a few days later in hospital.
Catastrophe is the brain child of Irish writer and actress Sharon Horgan and American comedian Rob Delaney. Three seasons of the programme have been made so far with fans hoping for a fourth season.
Other nominees in the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category at this year's Emmys are Wanda Sykes (Black-ish), Becky Ann Baker (Girls), Angela Bassett (Master Of None), Melissa McCarthy (Saturday Night Live) and Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live) for the honour.
The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards take place in September.
