The cause of death has not yet been revealed, though friends of the Oscar winner told People.com that Keaton’s health had rapidly and suddenly declined.

Martin, who played George Banks, husband of Keaton’s character Nina Banks in both “Father of the Bride” and “Father of the Bride Part II,” mourned the loss of his friend with a black-and-white photo on X, which he captioned, “Loved!”
Williams-Paisley described Keaton to People.com as a “cool aunt” and “mentor.”
“Annie Hall” co-star Woody Allen penned an essay for The Free Press where he wrote, “When we first met, I thought she was so charming, so beautiful, so magical, that I questioned my sanity. I thought: Was it possible to fall in love so quickly?”

Hawn took to Instagram to post a black and white photograph of Keaton smiling and wrote, “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. 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.”
“The Banger Sisters” star added, “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. I was blessed to make First Wives Club with you, our days starting with coffee in the makeup trailer, laughing and joking, right through to the very last day of filming. It was a roller coaster of love.”
The post went on to say Hawn would miss her friend and concluded with, “I love you.”
Devoted audiences are sifting through Keaton’s feature films to say a proper goodbye, too.
