Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd has shared a touching acceptance speech on behalf of her late mother after she was honoured posthumously with a Legend award from Walt Disney.
The late Star Wars actress, who passed away in December 2016 after suffering from cardiac arrest aged 60, was awarded the highest honour The Walt Disney Company can award an individual during the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California on Friday.
Fisher's 24-year-old penned a touching tribute to her mother which was read out by Disney chairman Bob Iger at the event.
The letter read: ''As far back as I can remember, my mom and I have been Disney fanatics. I was so obsessed with Ariel that I wanted to change my name. We went to Disneyland so much that I now realise she might have even loved it more than I did.
''Becoming part of the Disney family was truly an amazing moment for her. She secretly always wanted to be a Disney princess, so getting to be a Disney princess and a Disney legend would have been her ultimate dream.
''I wish I could be there to accept this award on her behalf, but unfortunately, I am currently working on 'American Horror Story'. I am beyond grateful to Mr. Iger and everyone at Disney for this incredible honour. Thank you again, and may the force be with you always.''
It was recently revealed that the Scream Queens actress has been named the sole beneficiary of Carrie's estate.
