Billie Lourd isn't inviting Carrie Fisher's siblings to the late star's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
Lourd said she has "no relationship" with her estranged family and accused them of trying to "capitalize" on Fisher's death.

"Star Wars" fans rejoiced over the news that Princess Leia actor Carrie Fisher is posthumously being given her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 4 — also known as "Star Wars" Day.

The actor passed away on December 27, 2016, after suffering a heart attack on a plane a few days earlier. Her mother, actor, and singer Debbie Reynolds, died just a day later, following a stroke, on December 28, 2016.

However, her family is now divided after her daughter, Billie Lourd, chose not to invite her mother's siblings to the ceremony.

Todd Fisher said it is "heartbreaking" that he wasn't invited to Carrie Fisher's posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, which takes place on May 4 — "Star Wars" Day.
