Fortunately, much of Joan Rivers’ belongings had already been moved to safety months before the fire. Key pieces of her extensive career, including over 65,000 of her original jokes, got sent to a national comedy center for preservation.

Her jewelry and other valuables are secured in a bank vault, while other parts of her wardrobe have been auctioned for charity. Before evacuating, Melissa managed to grab a few irreplaceable items, including Joan’s Emmy Award plaque, a drawing she had made of Melissa and her son Cooper, and a photo of her father, Edgar Rosenberg.
