Wendy Williams' family have been "largely denied contact" with her.
The talk show host has been placed under the guardianship of Sabrina Morrissey as she battles health conditions including primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and her family claim that they have little contact with Wendy.
As she turned 60 this week, a source told PEOPLE: "Wendy Williams’s family is unable to speak on her current condition and location due to ongoing litigation and the fact that they have largely been denied contact. But they are all rooting and praying for Wendy and want to express their well wishes as she celebrates her 60th birthday. She was, is and always will be an icon."
Williams was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia - a rare condition that affects the nervous system and inhibits the ability to communicate - and frontotemporal dementia - which affects personality, behaviour and language - last year.
In February, Williams’ sister Wanda Finnie claimed that she wasn't made aware of her sibling's diagnosis after she was placed in a facility to be treated for cognitive issues and that the family had received no updates on Wendy since she spent time with them in Florida in 2021.
She told PEOPLE: "When she was in Florida, there were a number of people involved. Even beyond family, there were doctors involved, people in Wendy’s professional world that were involved. She had a health team in place, nurses in place and she had family in place. She was getting healthier.
"How did she go from this aunt or sister that we love and is healthy one minute to this person who’s in and out of the hospital? How is that system better than the system the family could put in place? I don't know. I do know that this system is broken. I hope that at some point, Wendy becomes strong enough where she can speak on her own behalf."
