Joan Rivers passed away earlier today and now her celebrity pals are taking to Twitter to share their grief over the passing of the comedy legend and some of their fondest memories of the raspy, loudmouthed jokester. From her scalding fashion critiques to her trailblazing brand of female comedy, Hollywood (and the rest of the world) will miss the fearless funny-woman.
Here’s how Twitter is saying farewell:
Joan Rivers will always be a pioneer. She paved the way for a lot of comedians. I’m very sad she’s gone. pic.twitter.com/i1uE9fyHMh

I told Maron I'd have a zinger when Joan died. But I didn't think she ever would. She felt eternal, and anyway, zingers are her territory.

That being said, Joan is gone but a piece of her lives on: her nose, because it's made of polyurethane.

RIP Joan Rivers. Being publicly told that my dress is hideous will never feel quite as awesome. You will be truly missed.

Joan Rivers wouldn't want saccharine tributes tonight. She'd want people taking the piss.
