Fashion Police is set to continue despite the death of show regular Joan Rivers, E! has confirmed.

The fate of the light-hearted style review show had been up in the air following the 81-year-old comic's recent death.

But now the channel has announced that it will return with Giuliana Rancic, George Kotsiopoulos and Kelly Osbourne covering the Golden Globes in January.

A statement read: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Joan Rivers and, for the last two weeks, have turned our attention to honouring her memory on all of our platforms.

"We have also thought long and hard about what Joan would have wanted as it pertains to the future of Fashion Police.

"We decided, with Melissa Rivers's blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue. Fashion Police will return in 2015, commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12.

"No further details will be announced at this time."

Melissa Rivers is not only Joan's daughter - but a producer on the show.
