Joan Rivers Dead Twitter Reaction: Celebrities And Fans Mourn ‘Fashion Police’ Star
Joan Rivers made people laugh with her outrageous jokes, but on Thursday Twitter users flocked to the social media site to mourn the “Fashion Police” star.

She was an Emmy award-winning actress, best-selling author and host of "Fashion Police." Rivers made the query, "Who are you wearing," famous during her red carpet coverage.
"It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers," daughter Melissa said in a statement, according to People. "She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother. Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated."
