-- Joan Rivers' loved ones said Sunday that they remain hopeful about
her recovery three days after she went into cardiac arrest at a doctor's
office.
"We are keeping our fingers crossed,"
her daughter, Melissa Rivers, said in a statement, thanking people who
have expressed support for the 81-year-old comedian. Rivers on Friday
described her mother's condition as serious.
Joan
Rivers was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital on Thursday, a day after she
spoke at an employee event at Time Inc. in New York. Spectators there
said she had appeared to be well.
Rivers is
the host of "Fashion Police" on E! and presides over an online talk
show, "In Bed With Joan." She also co-stars with her daughter on the
WEtv reality show "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?"
Two of her "Fashion Police" co-stars tweeted their well-wishes to Joan Rivers and her family Saturday.
"Praying
for Joan Rivers and Mel Rivers," Giuliana Rancic tweeted. "Even though
Joan's the strongest woman I know, every single prayer counts. I love
you, Joan."
"4 the first time in years I got
down on my knees & prayed tonight!" Kelly Osbourne wrote. "I
encourage U 2 do the same 4 Joan Rivers my grandma!"
