Following the announcement, Chelsea said: "I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years.
"I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I'm glad I went."
During an interview with Howard Stern earlier this year, the outspoken comedienne called the network a "sad, sad place to live" prompting speculation of her departure.
Suzanna Kolb, president of E! explained: "We are very proud of Chelsea Lately's long-running success and the unique space that the series carved out in late night television.
"Chelsea brought a distinct voice to late night with her acerbic wit and fearless commentary and we look forward to providing fans with a memorable send-off that lives up to that tradition. Most of all, we are grateful to the Chelsea Lately team for making this show so special for seven years."
Chelsea Lately will continue to run in its usual slot at 11pm, weeknights until the final episode this August.
