Comedian Phyllis Diller died at her California home on Monday (August 20) at the age of 95.
The wild-haired funny woman had reportedly suffered from heart problems for quite some time and was progressively declining in health after a fall.
In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, Diller's longtime agent Fred Wosbrock said, "She was a true pioneer, she was the first lady of stand-up comedy. She paved the way for everybody. And she conquered television, movies, Broadway, record albums, nightclubs, books, and radio. She did it all. A true pioneer."
The 95 year-old Hollywood icon started her career back in the 1950's and made her first boost in 1959 when she joined Bob Hope.
Phyllis peacefully passed away in her sleep surrounded by her family and is survived by three of her children
