Actress Salma Hayek is one of the many celebrities currently mourning the loss of veteran comedienne Joan Rivers, who passed away at the age of 81 last week.
Rivers will forever be remembered for her sharp wit and biting tongue in a form of uncomfortable comedic prowess. She particularly enjoyed unleashing her power on those who fell victim to fashion mishaps in the celebrity universe.
Rivers spent her last few years stirring up controversy—and many laughs—as part of the Fashion Police panel on E! Network alongside Kelly Osbourne. Hayek may have been on the wrong side of Rivers’ tongue-lashings from time to time, but she still had powerful words to say about the longtime Hollywood dame.
“She’s an icon,” Hayek told E! News. "It won't be he same without her—red carpets will not be the same without her."
As for Hayek’s opinion on the harsh words many a celebrity had received from Rivers, she remained gracious. “She invented a whole way of making fun a little bit of fashion. We're going to miss her."
Rivers’ memorial service was held on Sunday in NYC.
