Melissa Rivers had Joan Rivers' hair and makeup done while she was in a coma before final goodbyes

Melissa Rivers shared a lighthearted moment that she had with her late mother, Joan Rivers, during her final moments of life during an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show.

In a segment airing during Wednesday’s episode, Rivers said she had the Fashion Police host’s hair and makeup team do her up before everyone said their final goodbyes.

“Her skin looked amazing,” she said of her mom while she was in a coma. “And her best friend kept saying, ‘God, her skin looks so good. Joan, your skin is so good. Wake up, you have to see this.’ I don’t mean to laugh, but you have to."

She continued, "I just made sure she looked her best before everybody came to say goodbye,” Huffington Post reports.

Rivers, who wrote a book about her mother called The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief and Manipulation, also said she allowed those closest to her to come to the hospital while she was in a coma for closure.

She knew she wouldn’t have wanted that but “I realized her friends needed it and somewhere I wanted her to know how beloved she was because she never felt that way,” she continued.

During an appearance on the Today Show on Monday, Rivers said her mother’s death on Sept. 4 was “100 percent preventable.”
