How to refer to array name

I am trying to create such function in JS:

const removeObjectFromArray = (id, array) => {
    const newArray = array.filter((item) => item.id !== id);
    array = newArray;
}

Everything would be great but the last line is not working. I want it to refer to array name (in this case incomeArray) and overwite the variable but it doesn't work this way.

Can you please help me finding a solution?

You can just return the value and use it that way.

const removeObjectFromArray = (id, array) => {
    return array.filter((item) => item.id !== id);
}

let myArray = [{id:5}, {id:10}];
myArray = removeObjectFromArray( 10,  myArray);
// myArray is now [{id:5}]
