"Fashion Police" host Joan Rivers is currently in recovery after she allegedly stopped breathing during her recent throat surgery.
The 81-year-old was rushed to a hospital in New York City for a surgery when she suddenly stopped breathing during the said procedure, according to News Sky.
Her daughter, Melissa, confirmed the news and thanked everyone who prayed for her mother's speedy recovery.
"I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support for my mother. She is resting comfortably and is with our family. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers," Melissa said.
Rivers was later on placed in a medically induced coma that she will be taken out of over the weekend, the Telegraph reported.
