Following been rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing during a throat surgery on Thursday, veteran comedienne Joan Rivers is now on life support, TMZ has revealed.
In fact, sources close to the legendary comedian say she is completely reliant on machines to stay alive.
According to the sources, the family will have to decide in the next couple of days whether to keep the 81-year-old on life support. The family however remains hopeful that if they do decide to turn off the machines, she will make a turn for the better and fight through it.
The E! Fashion Police lead host, and comedienne was her witty self less than 12 hours before she stopped breathing.  She was her usual irrepressible self, making jokes about her own longevity and mortality to an audience of around 100- her last public appearance.
Her daughter Melissa, 46, released a statement yesterday, thanking everyone for their messages of support and gave a brief update on her mother's condition.
She said:

'My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world.
'Her condition remains serious but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts as we pray for her recovery.'

Her Fashion Police co-hosts have also taken to twitter to express their grief and pray for her recovery.

'Praying for @Joan_Rivers and @MelRivers,' Mrs Rancic wrote Saturday morning. 'Even though Joan's the 

the strongest woman I know, every single prayer counts. I love you, Joan.'

A seemingly heartsick Kelly Osbourne called the 81-year-old co-presenter her ‘grandma’ and added the hashtag 'inconsolable.’ She wrote:

'4 the first time in years I got down on my knees & prayed tonight! I encourage U 2 do the same.'

Charly Sheen, Donald Trump are also among other celebrities who have prayed for the energetic entertainment mogul.

Joan has had a career spanning over 60 years, making people laugh with her witty, acerbic sense of humor.

I really pray she recovers, love her so much.
