2016 claimed the lives of many beloved actors and musicians throughout the year. Two of the last notable deaths happened to be two very well-known actresses, daughter and then mother: Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

Whilst a private memorial service was held for all the close friends and family of the two cherished actresses, Harry Potter’s Warwick Davis shared touching memories of his experience acting alongside Carrie Fisher. Davis has had many roles throughout the Star Wars films and got the chance to work with Carrie Fisher on more than one occasion.

He describes that she was a very fun person to be around and that they made a quick connection. Warwick says that Carrie was a very caring person, especially to him when he had to work in the heavy, hot ewok costume. Even after filming ceased, they kept their friendship going and kept in touch, often seeing each other Star Wars events that they both would attend.

He posted this tweet the day she passed:
