Inside Carrie Fisher & Mom Debbie Reynolds' Homes Where They Were Neighbors until They Passed a Day Apart

Carrie Fisher's trademark was Princess Leia Organa in the "Star Wars" films, but she was more than a legendary actress. Fisher was a loving daughter who shared an impenetrable relationship with her mom. Take a look at the houses the women lived in as neighbors until they died in 2016.

Carrie Fisher was the daughter of Debbie Reynolds, a singer, actress, and businesswoman. Although Fisher took the cue from her mother and became a famous TV star as a child, she never liked having a celebrity mom.

In her book "Wishful Drinking," the author confessed that walking with her movie star mother felt complicated during her younger years in public.

Fisher explained that fans often gush about her roles, complimenting the older actress during what was supposed to be a private time for mother and daughter.

Fisher hated the fame because it not only intruded in their intimate moments but also meant that she had to share her mother with the public.

Reynolds worked so hard, and it chipped into her time with her son, Todd. However, during rare occasions when she was home, Fisher and her brother loved being in her company.

It did not matter whether she was getting dressed, applying makeup, or sleeping. The kids always found ways to stay close to their mother. While Fisher loved to sleep on the rug in the room, her brother curled up on the couch, and in the morning, they would sneakily leave the room.

When Fisher became an adult, she left her mother's home, but the "Star Wars" actress remained attached to the family's matriarch.

During their final years, they became close again and lived as neighbors in Los Angeles for fifteen years. A hill separated the women's houses in the Cold-water Canyon neighborhood of Beverly Hills. While defining their bond, Fisher's comment was:

"I usually come to her. I always come to her."

INSIDE CARRIE FISHER'S LUXURY HOME

Fisher purchased her estate in the star-studded area of Beverly Hills in 1993. The property was worth $13.75 million, and Spanish-themed architecture was spread on a portion of the 4,200 square feet of land.

The actress agreed that her estate, including a four-bedroom and four-bathroom house, possessed a superstar quality that preceded the actress.

Its original owner was Robert Armstrong, who starred in "King Kong." The following person to live in it was Bette Davis, before Edith Head, and that was when most of the rebuilding occurred.

Fisher confessed that she was attracted to the house because it embraced her furniture and wide range of properties, including Indian rugs, folk arts, enormous 1930s leather club chairs, and Biedermeier tables. The actress described it as a "playful house."

In reality, Fisher lived in her magical galaxy surrounded by incredible arts, which she once referred to as "scavenger hunting." The actress' bathroom was an ample space that welcomed wall hangings and a grand piano.

The entire space leading up to her creative room was warm and illuminated with fireplaces at different spots. The actress stored artworks from her childhood trips worldwide and her association with the iconic "Star Wars" films.

Fisher's creative room was a haven for her whenever she needed to write. The walls were painted pink and beige and possessed lights from the side lamps.

Colorful sofas were lying on printed rugs, while one side of the room was framed with a gigantic hand painting, among other miniature artworks.

The dining area looked like a disco house. It is a burst of colors from the windows, walls, ceiling, and different-sized chairs tucked under a brown wooden table.

Fisher's living room space displayed her love for collectibles, from table lamps to the large "ugly children" painting on the wall, the leather and cushion chairs, and the little statue of Yoda from "Star Wars" standing in front of a small center table.

The bedroom hosted eccentric colors, from the chairs to the decorations. There was an adorable and rare artwork of Fisher's "Star Wars" character and the Director's chair.

One Collection Was Stranger Than Everything Else

Among all the unusual decorations in Fisher's home, one collection stood out for a rather unexpected reason. The actress had a fascination with old-fashioned portraits of children whose peculiar expressions made them anything but ordinary.

She jokingly called them her "ugly children" collection. In the HBO documentary "Bright Lights," Fisher even compared one of the painted children to actor Shia LaBeouf, showing the offbeat sense of humor that made her so memorable.

The unusual interiors certainly caught viewers' attention when footage of Fisher's home appeared on YouTube. One person admired the actress's decorating choices, writing, "I love how weird and unique all the rooms are."

However, not everyone reacted with the same enthusiasm. Another viewer left a much more uneasy response: "This feels so wrong to me..." without explaining what specifically bothered them.

Another reaction focused on the director's chair seen inside the actress's home. One viewer was particularly protective of the personal item, commenting, "I got so triggered when she sat on that directors chair. Only Carrie deserves to sit on that chair."

From the peculiar portraits to the familiar Hollywood memorabilia, Fisher's home was far from a typical celebrity mansion. Every corner reflected her personality, and even years after her death, those personal belongings continued to provoke very different emotions among viewers.

ALL ABOUT DEBBIE REYNOLDS' HOME

Seven years after Fisher moved into the luxury estate, her mother bought her own home. It was a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home that cost about $1 million and faced her daughter's house.

Reynolds' front porch displayed a homely feeling and peaceful atmosphere with a series of white dainty-looking chairs lined up. Inside was a storehouse, including a room where Fisher's old bed was kept.

The older actress was particular about keeping old belongings. On one side of a room, she stored her old jewelry in a glass-themed frame. However, the accessories locked up in the glass house are visible to passers-by.

Reynold also created a raised platform next to her room wall where she preserved her children's childhood shoes in bronze.

Her living room space boasts musical instruments, including a piano, open-styled curtains on a large window, two chairs placed side by side at the fireplace, and some table decorations.

This was the exact way she left the house, but when it was listed on the market five years after her death, Reynolds' home went through some changes. The 1929-built house has a modified kitchen and bathroom, but the English yard has been preserved.

FISHER AND REYNOLDS'S DEATHS

Fisher and Reynolds maintained a close relationship. While they lived a stone's throw from each other's doorsteps, they also shared an intimate bond, not failing to check up on each other.

Sadly, all that changed in December 2016. Fisher was flying from London back home when she suffered a cardiac arrest. She was rushed to the hospital, but four days later, on December 27, 2016, she passed away.

Reynolds was devastated when she heard the tragic news. The singer was so in love with the season that she always kept a Christmas tree. This time she had planned the event for the year when news of her daughter's illness reached her.

Fisher's mother thought they would spend the time together, but unfortunately, she received news of her daughter's death. The following day, December 28, 2016, she died from a stroke.

Her son confessed that his mother missed Fisher greatly and had talked about being with her in her final moments. According to Todd:

"She said she really wanted to be with Carrie. In those precise words, and within 15 minutes from that conversation she faded out within 30 minutes; she technically was gone."

Fisher and Reynolds' bond was so great that she began and ended her life close to her mother. After their deaths, they were buried next to each other in an intimate funeral service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, in Hollywood, with family and close friends in attendance.
