Gilbert Gottfried defended his fellow comedians until the very end, using his last social media post to back Chris Rock after the Oscars.

Gilbert posted a photo of him with Chris with the caption "Which is the worst crime?" a day after Will Smith slapped him. Chris Rock telling a joke or being physically attacked?

He told The Associated Press that he used to worry about putting a mask on, but now he has to worry about wearing a football helmet.

Gilbert passed away Tuesday from a heart abnormality called Ventricular Tachycardia. His family wanted his fans to laugh as loud as they can.
