Joan Rivers is a legend, no two ways about it.
And with that status comes a massive fan base that includes tons of her fellow celebrities—some who have worked or hobnobbed with the trailblazing entertainer, and others who may not know her but who love to laugh at her jokes and can't help but admire what she has accomplished over the course of her storied career.
Upon hearing that Rivers had been hospitalized this morning in critical yet stable condition after she stopped breathing during a minor endoscopic procedure, support and wishes for a full and speedy recovery immediately started pouring in from the twitterverse.
Celebrities from Ellen DeGeneres and Larry King to Andy Cohen and Charlie Sheen had nothing but love for Joan. Here is a sampling of the thoughts and prayers tweeted out in her honor:
I?m thinking about you, @Joan_Rivers, and sending lots of love your way.
