"I knew her for a long time, she has been on the show many times and the last time was just a month ago," she continues. "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," she concludes. "I miss you, Carrie. I love you."
DeGeneres then cuts to a video montage featuring various guest appearances from the Star Wars star. The tribute also touches on Fisher’s mother, Debbie Reynolds, who died one day after Fisher at age 84 on Dec. 28.
Fisher, who died on Dec. 27, days after going into cardiac arrest during a flight from London to Los Angeles, is survived by her daughter, Billie Lourd. She was 60.
Lourd broke her silence since the death of her mother and grandmother on Monday, thanking fans for their support. "Receiving all of your prayers and kind words over the past week has given me strength during a time I thought strength could not exist," she Instagrammed alongside a childhood photo of herself with Fisher and Reynolds. "There are no words to express how much I will miss my Abadaba and my one and only Momby. Your love and support means the world to me."
Watch the video below to see how Lourd's Scream Queen co-stars -- including Ariana Grande, Taylor Lautner and Lea Michele -- have rallied around her since her mother’s death.
