Legendary comedian Phyllis Diller has passed away at age 95.
The outspoken, outrageous Diller was known for her raunchy jokes and her laugh. She appeared in dozens of films and TV shows.
Sources close to Diller tell TMZ the comedian died at her L.A. home, surrounded by family.
Phyllis began her career all the way back in 1952 -- and rose to fame with her TV specials alongside Bob Hope in the 1960s.
Later that decade, Phyllis starred in her own show called "The Phyllis Diller Show" ... as well as a variety show called "The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show."
Fellow funnywoman Joan Rivers appeared on a recent episode of "Watch What Happens Live" praising Diller, saying she "broke the way for every woman comedian."
