The 29-year-old, who is currently in hospital with pneumonia, added: 'Melissa and Cooper, my thoughts are with you and I love you both so much. Joan, thank you for taking me in and loving me as a daughter.

I will miss you deeply and will always hear your voice in my head saying ‘my darling get out there and be you!’Meanwhile, Giuliana paid tribute via a statement to E!'It is almost impossible to describe how much I adored Joan and how much she has meant to me,' she said.'She was not only the funniest woman I have ever met but was incredibly loving, honest, and lived her life with no regrets.

Working with her for the last 13 years has been one of the true joys of my life. She could put a smile on your face, instantly, no matter how hard your day was.
