The late Carrie Fisher has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This is despite a family dispute which risked overshadowing the entire occasion.

The Hollywood tribute to the late Princess Leia actress was held on May the Fourth – which is also known as Star Wars Day.

A row has erupted between Fisher’s daughter and siblings over recent months.

Her brother and sisters have criticised Billie Lourd for not inviting them, with Lourd accusing them of trying to “capitalise on [her] mother’s death”.

Fisher died in 2016 at the age of 60.

In 2018, Star Wars actor Mark Hamill led calls for his co-star to be given her own tile on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Speaking at the ceremony, Hamill said he will “never stop missing” Fisher.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
