Her guardian angel: Billie Lourd shares personal childhood photo with late mom Carrie Fisher

The force is still with her.

Nearly two months after her mother's death, Billie Lourd took to Instagram Wednesday to share an adorable childhood photo with "Star Wars" icon Carrie Fisher.

The photo appears to be an iPhone snap of Billie's own framed portrait. In the sweet black-and-white image, Billie is perched on Carrie's lap in the back seat of a black limo. Both are looking up at the sky, and while we don't know what they were actually checking out 20 years ago, the photo now has a whole new meaning: The 24-year-old captioned it with emojis of an angel and stars.

Since the unexpected December 2016 passings of both Carrie and her own mother, legendary actress Debbie Reynolds, Billie has posted a few vintage photos in their memories. "There are no words to express how much I will miss my Abadaba and my one and only Momby," she wrote.

Debbie died of a stroke just one day after her daughter suffered a cardiac arrest.

Prayers and support from heartbroken fans, Billie said, have "given me strength during a time I thought strength could not exist."

In 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," Billie made a cameo appearance as Lieutenant Connix, addressing General Leia with one line of dialogue. Billie confirmed to BUILD Series that she will reprise her role in the upcoming "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," revealing only that she delivers more than one line this time.
