AceShowbiz - Billie Lourd, Carrie Fisher's only child, will receive a large amount of money from her late mother's estate. After reportedly feuding with her uncle, Todd Fisher, over Carrie's assets and Debbie Reynolds' money, Billie will inherit $6.8 million from Carrie's estate.
According to court documents obtained by ET, the "Star Wars" star left Billie multiple bank accounts, a 2016 Tesla S, jewelry, a life insurance, ownership of various LLCs, artwork and collectibles. The "Scream Queens" alum will also inherit the rights to her mother's public image and likeness.
Billie will have access to intellectual property rights which include proceeds from books, trademarks and copyrights. There's a possibility that she will receive additional money that wasn't included in Carrie's will.
Bille recently opened up about her mother and grandmother's death in an interview with Town & Country. She revealed that humor was what helped her cope with their passing. "If life's not funny, then it's just true - and that would be unacceptable," she shared. "Even when [my mom] died, that was what got me through that whole thing. When Debbie died the next day, I could just picture her saying, 'Well, she's upstaging me once again, of course - she had to.' "
Although their deaths scarred her, Bille didn't want to be sad forever. "I've always kind of lived in their shadows, and now is the first time in my life when I get to own my life and stand on my own," she said. "I love being my mother's daughter, and it's something I always will be, but now I get to be just Billie."
Carrie passed away at the age of 60 in December 2016, shortly after suffering a heart attack during a flight from London to Los Angeles. Her mother Debbie died the following day due to stroke.
