The Golden Globes stopped the show with a heart-wrenching tribute to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, the mother-daughter icons who passed away within one day of each other in December.

Host Jimmy Fallon said, 'This past year we lost so many legends and icons, but a few weeks ago, we lost a mother and a daughter within just a couple of days, and it was a terrible loss that we all felt.'

Mother and daughter forever: Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher often performed on stage together

Debbie was a single mother long before it was considered common - above with toddler Carrie

The pair had a natural chemistry and often teased and joked with each other

The pair were laid to rest in a double funeral at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles on Friday morning. On Thursday, celebrities who came to honor the legends at a private memorial service included Meg Ryan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep, Ellen Barkin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lea Michele, and Ed Begley Jr. and Eric Idle.

The awards show montage, set to 'You Made Me Love You,' paid tribute to the duo with a highlight reel from their many creative accomplishments, including Debbie in Singin' in the Rain, The Singing Nun, The Tender Trap and others, and Carrie as Princess Leia in the Star Wars movies and in When Harry Met Sally...

Carrie, as Princess Leia, became as famous as her mother when she starred in Star Wars at 19

Debbie starred opposite some of the hottest male stars of the day including Frank Sinatra, and played a singing nun

Footage was included from their HBO documentary Bright Lights, Starring Debbie Fisher. There were also snippets of touching home movies of Debbie with young Carrie and her brother, Todd Fisher.

Debbie raised the children mostly alone after husband Eddie Fisher, a famous crooner at the time, left her for her friend, Elizabeth Taylor, causing the biggest scandal of the 1950s.

Debbie was a devoted mother to Carrie and brother Todd

Carrie wrote the movie 'These Old Broads' in which Debbie and Elizabeth, by then pals again, poked fun of Eddie.

In their final years, the mom and daughter lived in separate houses right near each other and remained best pals.

Carrie and Debbie's incredible bond lasted right up until Debbie's final moments when, a day after Carrie died in a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a stroke on a plane, Debbie began having chest pains while planning her daughter's funeral.

Debbie's last words, according to Todd, were 'I want to be with Carrie.'
