Comedian Kathy Griffin has said she has been comforted by actress Jane Fonda amid her divorce from husband Randy Bick.
Griffin, 63, married Bick in a 2020 ceremony officiated by actress Lily Tomlin, after they had been in a relationship since 2011.
Court documents filed in the Superior Court of California last week said the couple separated three days before Christmas, just over a week before they were set to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary on January 1.

Griffin shared a photo on social media of herself and Fonda eating fruit with their arms wrapped round each other.
She wrote: “Me: Fonda, it’s Griffin. My heart is broken. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep.
“@Janefonda: Come on over kid. I’ll feed you and I’ll listen to you.”
After news first emerged of the divorce filing, Griffin seemingly acknowledged the news on social media, writing: “Well … sh*t. This sucks.”
Well…sh*t. This sucks.
