It’s been two years since Carrie Fisher died, and her 26-year-old daughter, Billie Lourd, paid tribute to her mother by sharing a special musical performance in her honor.

The “American Horror Story” star posted a pair of videos to Instagram early on Thursday morning, showing her seated at a piano, playing her own rendition of Glen Campbell’s “These Days.”

She captioned the videos:

“It has been two years since my Momby’s death and I still don’t know what the “right” thing to do on a death anniversary is (I’m sure a lot of you feel the same way about your loved ones). So I decided to do something a little vulnerable for me, but something we both loved to do together – sing. This is the piano her father gave her and this was one of her favorite songs. And as the song says, we must “keep on moving”. I’ve found that what keeps me moving is doing things that make me happy, working hard on the things that I’m passionate about and surrounding myself with people I love and making them smile. I hope this encourages anyone feeling a little low or lost to “keep on moving”. As my Momby once said, “take your broken heart and turn it into art” – whatever that art may be for you.”

Fisher died Dec. 27, 2016, at 60 after falling ill on a flight from London to Los Angeles a few days prior. A final autopsy report showed the “Star Wars” alum had a combination of drugs in her system at the time of her passing, but her official cause of death was ruled “sleep apnea and other undetermined factors.”
