The late "Star Wars" actress Carrie Fisher shared a message about death — in the form of a handwritten note on a book page.

The actress's brother, Todd Fisher, told The New York Post's Page Six that he found it in a drawer of their mother's, the late actress Debbie Reynolds, while looking for memorabilia for a "Star Wars" pop-up museum at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Carrie's note was written on an "About the Author" page of a book by writer Adrian Tinniswood. Todd read the letter to Page Six, saying that the late actress writes as if she was dead and what it was like. He added that it seemed like something Carrie wrote "long ago because she was doing a story on death, or it just materialized from beyond."

"'I am dead. How are you? I'll see you soon … I would call and tell you what this is like, but there is no reception up here,'" Todd read the letter out loud to The Post. "Then it says, 'Cut. New scene, new setup, new heavenly location. I have finally got the part that I have been rehearsing for all my life. God gave me the part. This is the end of the road I have been touring on all my life.'"

Carrie Fisher died on Dec. 23, 2016, after suffering from a heart attack on a flight before Christmas. She was in put in a coma before she passed away a few days later.

Despite the actress's untimely passing, she has made post-mortem appearances in later films in the "Star Wars" franchise, including the most recent film, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," which was released on Dec. 20 of this year.

"It just blew my mind," Todd said. "I thought, 'Wow, why am I finding this right now?'"
