The late Carrie Fisher will be posthumously immortalized with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with the ceremony appropriately set to take place on Thursday, May 4th a.k.a. “Star Wars” Day.

Ahead of the ceremony, however, Fisher’s siblings have been publicly griping that they haven’t been invited to attend. “It’s heartbreaking and shocking to me that I was intentionally omitted from attending this important legacy event for my sister, Carrie,” Fisher’s brother, Todd Fisher, told TMZ on Tuesday.

The fact that her only brother and two sisters were intentionally and deliberately excluded is deeply shocking.” In response, the late “Star Wars” star’s daughter, Billie Lourd, issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, confirming they were not invited — by her deliberate choice. “I have seen the postings and press release issued by my mother’s brother and sister.

I apologize to anyone reading this for feeling the need to defend myself publicly from these family members. But unfortunately, because they publicly attacked me, I have to publicly respond.
