Fellow actress and granddaughter to the Academy Award nominee Billie Lourd honored this somber occasion with a throwback photo of Reynolds and her famous family. Lourd, 29, is known for the Fox series Scream Queens and American Horror Story, the latter of which she is still involved in. She is the only daughter to Carrie Fisher and is a niece to director and producer Todd Fisher.
