EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Phyllis Diller Dead -- Legendary Comic Dies at 95

Comedian Phyllis Diller -- who paved the way for today's female comics -- has died, TMZ has learned.Sources close to Diller tell us the comedian died at her L.A. home, surrounded by family. She was 95.We're told Diller had recently fallen, hurting her wrist and hip, and her health had been on the decline ever since. She had been living in hospice care at her home.Diller suffered a heart attack in 1999 and was later fitted with a pacemaker.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." She was also a regular on "Laugh In."She also posed for Playboy -- but the pics were never published.Diller remained spunky to the very end, famously appearing in the 2005 movie "The Aristocrats," telling an x-rated joke ... better than comics half her age.Joan Rivers recently appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" and said, Diller "broke the way for every woman comedian.”

Yes it was.

She was truly a pioneer.

I'm so sad to hear this news. She was wonderful to grow up with.

R.I.P. Ms. Diller. Thank you for all the laughs.

Phyllis was one hell of a class act! She continuously proved that a person could be hilariously funny without being vulgar.

Man, I LOVED Phyllis Diller, thought of her often, never forgot she was still with us, and am really sad to learn of her passing. I was such a fan of her work, and even immediately recognized her voice as Peter Griffin's mom on Family Guy. And for someone who made so many jokes about her own appearance, she was such an attractive lady in her youth. My heart dropped as I read the news of her passing. May she rest in peace.

I was crazy about this movie as a kid, and Phyllis Diller was a big part of the reason why. She really knew how to have fun with her image:
