Congratulations, Debbie Reynolds!

The screen icon, 82, was honored at last night's SAG Awards with the 2015 Life Achievement Award — and her famous daughter, Carrie Fisher proudly presented her mother with the special statuette.

"I am very close to this year's Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award honoree," the 'Star Wars' actress, 58, joked as she began her introduction. "She has been more than a mother to me — not much — but definitely more!"

"I'm so excited, my favorite picture was 'Singin' in the Rain,'" Debbie began her acceptance speech.
