In her statement, Lourd said that she has seen and heard whatever her mother's siblings have said so far. She added:

"I apologize to anyone reading this for feeling the need to defend myself publicly from these family members."

She noted that because her mother's siblings attacked her publicly, she felt the need to respond to them publicly as well. Billie said that she didn't invite them to the ceremony and that they knew the reason behind it.

Billie Lourd revealed that her mother's siblings expressed their grief following Carrie's demise. However, they also reportedly started to use it for their benefit through interviews and selling books. Lourd stated that she learned the truth from the press and was unhappy that they never thought about the consequences of their actions.

She added that only a few people close to Fisher knew the truth about her "complicated relationship" with her siblings and family. Billie Lourd said that she understood that the people had the right to do what they wanted, their actions were "very hurtful" to her in the most difficult time of her life.

Carrie Fisher's daughter also said that she has constantly chosen to deal with Fisher's loss in a "much different way."

Billie further stated that she did not have any feud or relationship with her mother's siblings. She also said that she had decided to end something that had nothing to do with her life or her children. Billie concluded by stating that everyone at Disney and Lucasfilm loved Carrie Fisher and contributed to making the Hollywood Walk of Fame possible.
