Joan Rivers has died at 81 – the world reacts
I’m just gutted.
Was in total denial about it all and hoping and praying that Joan Rivers would somehow make yet another comeback.
But not this time.
It’s such a loss that I think we all feel because even at 81, Joan was still going so strong – she still had so much to do.
I’ll be writing a lot more about her today but for now, here is some of the reaction to her death:
Kathy Griffin: A legend, a friend, a mentor, an icon, and wildly funny. One of a kind. RIP
Sarah Silverman: My heart is torn in half. She wasn’t done.

I remember watching Joan’s first appearance on TV back in the 60’s. After making me laugh for 50 years, I will miss her very much. Rest in peace and thank you so very much for all the laughs.
