“I wanna say something about my friend, Carrie Fisher,” DeGeneres said. “I knew her for a long time. She has been on the show many times, and the last time was just a month ago. I loved when she was here. She made me laugh so hard. She was smart, she was funny, she was hilariously honest about herself and the world around her.”

DeGeneres then aired a montage of hilarious and special moments of Carrie from “The Ellen DeGeneres” show over the years. The video also included the legendary Debbie Reynolds, Fisher’s mother, who passed away a day after Fisher at age 84.

“I miss you Carrie,” DeGeneres said before closing her show. “I love ya.”

Carrie Fisher passed away after suffering a heart attack aboard a flight from London to Los Angeles. Fisher was 60 years old.

A joint funeral for Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds will take place in California on Thursday.

RIP Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.
