Melissa Rivers, daughter of iconic, late comedian Joan Rivers, said in the midst of packing up her belongings to flee the wildfires raging through Los Angeles, she made sure to grab her mother’s sole Emmy award before her town was “wiped off the map.”
“Luckily, my office which is in — was in — my home, [I grabbed] whatever was there,” the TV host told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “In my personal situation, that’s it, that’s the end of everything that belonged to my family and the history of it. To be 100 percent honest, I grabbed my mom’s Emmy, a photo of my dad, and a drawing that my mother had done of me and my son.”
