The absence of Billie Lourd during the public memorial service of her late mother Carrie Fisher and grandmother Debbie Reynolds might have surprised many people, and uncle Todd Fisher has a reason for it.

The 59-year-old entertainer stated that he understands why his niece skipped the event, which was held at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 25. According to him, she really feels the loss of her loved ones and needs to step back from it.

"There's a vacuum in the room and she's feeling it... we're all feeling it. I'm letting [Billie] breathe, you know? She needs to breathe. She needs to step back from all of this loss," Todd said while interacting with a representative of Entertainment Tonight.
