Kathy Griffin Celebrates 61st Birthday With A Topless Dance After Cancer Diagnosis [Watch]

Kathy Griffin was in high spirits while celebrating her birthday after being diagnosed with cancer.

Griffin turned 61 Thursday. The American comedienne shared a video of herself savoring the moment by dancing topless on her waterfront balcony.

"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, BABY! 61 AND SEXXXXY," she wrote in the caption of the video she uploaded to Instagram.

Her celebrity pals and fans flooded her post with sweet birthday messages. They are very happy to see Griffin having a blast on her special day.

"Happy birthday Kathy!!! Love you dummy," Selma Blair commented.

"Happy Birthday Queen!" Caroline Rhea added with a fire emoji.

"Happy Birthday!!!!!! Sending you tons of love xoxoxox," the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" momager Kris Jenner wrote.

One fan greeted her and called her the "Queen, Icon, Legend and the Moment." Another wrote, "Happy Birthday to one hell of a broad!" with a red heart emoji.

Back in August, Griffin shared that she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She made the announcement in a post on Twitter.

"I got to tell you guys something. I have cancer," her statement read. "I'm about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed. Yes, I have lung cancer even though I've never smoked!"

Griffin said the doctors were "very optimistic" about her condition. She was hoping that she could go through the healing process without chemotherapy and radiation. She assured her fans that she would be fine and she was fully vaccinated for COVID or the consequences would have been worse. She also urged everyone to do their medical checkups regularly because "it'll save your life."

In her interview with co-anchor Juju Chang on ABC News' "Nightline," she opened up about her cancer diagnosis, mental health journey and addiction to pills. She also got into detail about her drug detox experience.

According to Griffin, it was "nasty" and it went on for months. Her withdrawal symptoms included tremors and flop sweat. She also couldn't keep her balance that she needed her husband's support to do simple things like brushing her teeth because she couldn't make it on her own without falling over.

Chang commented that Griffin was "in deep" and the Emmy winner replied, "[It was a] bad detox — bad detox."
