VIDEO: Melissa Rivers Thanks Onlookers for 'Love and Support' Outside Joan Rivers' Funeral Service

As fans and media gathered in front of the funeral of legendary comedienne Joan Rivers, which was held yesterday, September 7th at New York City's Temple Emanu-El, Melissa Rivers took time to step outside and thank onlookers for their continued support.

"Thank you for showing your love and support for my son and I, and my mother," said Rivers' daughter. "I just really wanted to step out and thank you all." Watch the video.

Following an opening prayer from the officiating rabbi at the services, six-time Tony award winner Audra McDonald performed a moving version of the Nat King Cole classic, "Smile," reportedly one of Rivers' favorites songs.

Also present to sing before the over two-thousand mourners was Broadway's Hugh Jackman. The 'Les Mis' star, who will soon make his return to Broadway in 'The River,' sang "Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage," a song written by Peter Allen from the musical "The Boy From Oz.".
