Hollywood stars pay tribute to Diane Keaton after legendary actress and comedian battles several illnesses and dies at 79

Goldie Hawn, Steve Martin and Jane Fonda were among the many stars who honored Diane Keaton after the legendary actress died at the age of 79.

On Saturday, Keaton’s death was reported by People magazine, with the outlet noting that her family had requested privacy.

After news broke of Keaton’s passing, there was an outpouring of tributes to the Hollywood legend from her former co-stars and other celebrities.

Hawn, who co-starred with Keaton and Bette Midler in the 1996 hit ensemble comedy “The First Wives Club,” shared an emotional post on Instagram.

“Diane, we aren’t ready to lose you. You’ve left us with a trail of fairy dust, filled with particles of light and memories beyond imagination,” Hawn wrote alongside a photo of Keaton.

She continued: “How do we say goodbye? What words can come to mind when your heart is broken? You never liked praise, so humble, but now you can’t tell me to ‘shut up’ honey. There was, and will be, no one like you. You stole the hearts of the world and shared your genius with millions, making films that made us laugh and cry in ways only you could.”
