Authorities have released an update on the passing of beloved Hollywood icon Diane Keaton, 79, as more painful details emerge. The Oscar-winning actress, best known for Annie Hall and Something’s Gotta Give, died on Saturday, October 11. Fans and colleagues flooded social media with tributes. “I wasn’t ready for this forever lively legend to be gone so soon,” one admirer wrote.
According to close friends, Keaton’s health declined rapidly in the months before her death. “It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit,” a friend told People. They shared that her final days were spent privately, surrounded only by her closest family.
Songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, a longtime friend, said Keaton was deeply affected by the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. “She’d lost so much weight — I was stunned,” Sager revealed.
The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that no further details are available. Keaton’s family has requested privacy “in this moment of great sadness.” Her legacy of grace, humor, and authenticity will continue to inspire generations.
