Six days after comedian Joan Rivers was rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing during a minor procedure, her daughter Melissa Rivers gave fans some awaited news. However, the latest statement didn’t offer a lot of new information regarding her mother’s condition.
“My mother has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable,” the statement read. “Thank you for your continued support.”
Melissa Rivers didn’t answer whether or not her mother was still on life support or even if her condition had improved. As of Tuesday, Melissa Rivers said the 81 year old remained on life support, and said that she knows her mother would be overwhelmed by the continuing outpouring of kindness from fans across the country.
E! said on Tuesday that filming on the series Joan Rivers co-hosts, “Fashion Police,” had been suspended.
“We will not be producing a ‘Fashion Police’ this week or next as we await Joan and Melissa’s return in front and behind the camera,” a rep said. “E! will be airing two ‘E! From Fashion Week’ specials that will deliver the latest news and information from the highly-anticipated event.”
The firebrand TV comedian went into cardiac arrest back on August 28 during a procedure at a clinic. She was rushed to New York City’s capable Mount Sinai Hospital, and her daughter, Melissa Rivers, has previously said her mother “is receiving the best treatment and care possible.”
