Actress Whoopi Goldberg spotted with granddaughter Jerzey at New York Fashion Week

Whoopi Goldberg is obviously happy to try something new to make her granddaughter Jerzey Dean happy.

And the teen certainly seemed delighted as she sat front row with her grandmother at the Stella Nolasco fashion show during New York Fashion Week on Thursday.

The pair were there to watch the Spring offerings of Puerto Rico's most avant garde designer, whose clothing line sells in upmarket department store Neiman Marcus.

Whoopi took to Twitter to express her sadness, saying: 'My friend Joan Rivers has passed away once again to quote Billy Crystal... There are no words. Bon Voyage Joan.'
