Funnywoman Joan Rivers passes on @ 81!

We were all really hoping she would pull through.

I mean procedures at her age would have been very risky,but thats Joan for you, she did what she wanted,said what she wanted and sure had a lot of fun!

She had complications from a throat surgery,slipped into a medically induced coma,then went to intensive care and was said to be coming around but sadly she lost the battle.

She never hid her love for plastic surgery, and her love of fashion of course!

Its always giggles on her E! hosted show, Fashion police.

Her humour, a bit dry and offensive sometimes..but Joan just wanted to make people laugh..

Her daughter Mellisa released a statement on her passing..

"It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers. She passed peacefully at 1:17 PM 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."

"My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon."

An excerpt from her Book where she wrote on her Funeral wishes below..

RIP Joan Rivers..
