After more than 60 years in show business, one of the true legends of the comedy world died in Los Angeles earlier today.
TMZ reports that sources say Phyllis Diller, known for her loud cackle laugh, died at her L.A. home surrounded by family. She was 95.
TMZ says she had recently fallen, hurting her wrist and hip, and her health had been on the decline ever since. She had been living in hospice care at her home.
Diller suffered a heart attack in 1999 and was later fitted with a pacemaker.
Phyllis began her career in 1952 — and rose to fame with her TV specials alongside Bob Hope in the 1960s.
She continued to make appearances and performances after solidifying her reputation as a trailblazing and pioneering female comedian.
