D Dipasupil/FilmMagic(NEW YORK) — Melissa Rivers has posted a message to her fans on WhoSay thanking them for their support in the wake of her mother Joan Rivers’ death on Sept. 4.
In a statement that represents her first public comments since her mother’s funeral, Rivers writes, “As my son Cooper and I mourn the loss of my mother, we want to thank everyone for the beautiful cards and flowers conveying heartfelt messages and condolences, which continue to arrive from around the world and through social media. My mother would have been overwhelmed by the scope and depth of the love that people have expressed for her. It is certainly helping to lift our spirits during this time.”
She adds, “We are forever grateful for your kindness and support in continuing to honor my mother’s legacy, and for remembering the joy and laughter that she brought to so many.”
In honor of the late comic, E! will air a day-long Fashion Police marathon Friday. It will be followed by a 90-minute special in which Melissa Rivers will join her mother’s Fashion Police co-hosts: Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos. The special will include never-before-seen clips, behind-the-scenes footage, and funny outtakes.
The Fashion Police marathon will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the Fashion Police: Celebrating Joan special at 8 p.m. ET.
