Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher: Artist tributes

Tribute to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds in their iconic roles

Mother-and-daughter stars Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher are being remembered through cartoons depicting their best-loved characters.

A day after the death of Star Wars heroine Fisher, her mother, Singin' in the Rain star, Reynolds, also died.

One of the most widely shared cartoons, attributed to the artist Ricky LaChance, shows both actors standing arm-in-arm and looking toward heaven.

"Adding two more stars to the heavens," wrote one Instagram user. A Twitter commentator said it was "so beautiful, the perfect memorial"

Illustrator Norio Fujikawa also depicted the actors in their trademark roles - as Princess Leia in Star Wars and Kathy Selden in Singin' in the Rain - sharing a black umbrella.

Many have been using the images to express their grief on Twitter and Instagram using hashtags like #finalcurtaincall and #togetherforever.

French digital artist Mlle Arole shared this picture of the actors, calling it, "Mother and Daughter".

'Great advocate of mental health'

Earlier in the week artists had reacted to Fisher's death with memorial artwork.

Artist Mark Hiblen told the BBC he grew up with Star Wars and it influenced his illustrations for years:

"I think the world has lost a very interesting lady and a great advocate of mental health."
