She said there would be a 'celebration of Eva' on Tuesday (April 23) in Lower Manhattan, and asked people to message her so she could 'get a headcount' and 'share the details'.
Joy continued to say: "I wish I had Eva here now to refer to because she would have better words and know how to say what I don’t.
"I am keeping this brief, so we can plan for the next few days, but you’ll be hearing a lot more from me on how much Eva means to me and just how different the world will be without her."
Alongside the statement, Joy also shared a throwback photo of her late sister smiling and dancing.
