Goldie Hawn, Steve Martin, and Ben Stiller have led tributes to Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton, who has died at the age of 79.
Keaton, who was born in Los Angeles, shot to fame in the 1970s through her role as Kay Adams-Corleone in The Godfather films.
She was also known for starring roles in films including Father of the Bride, First Wives Club, and Annie Hall, which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1978.
Fellow First Wives Club co-star Goldie Hawn said Keaton left a trail of fairy dust, filled with particles of light and memories beyond imagination.
Writing on Instagram, Hawn said: 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.
Keaton died in California on Saturday, a family spokesperson told People magazine, which first reported the news. Producer and friend of Keaton, Dori Rath, confirmed the actress's death to the BBC's US partner, CBS News.
Paying tribute, her other First Wives Club co-star Bette Midler wrote on Instagram: The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has died. I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me.
Martin reposted part of a magazine article where his co-star Martin Short asks: Who's sexier, me or Steve Martin? Keaton's witty reply was: I mean, you're both idiots. Martin said: Don't know who first posted this, but it sums up our delightful relationship with Diane.
Actor Ben Stiller paid tribute on X, writing: Diane Keaton. One of the greatest film actors ever. An icon of style, humor, and comedy. Brilliant. What a person.
Director Paul Feig said on X he had been honoured to call Keaton a friend and added that she was an amazingly kind and creative person who also just happened to be a Hollywood legend, noting that she had been taken far too soon.
And The Book Club co-star Jane Fonda said on Instagram that Fonda was a spark of life and light.
For Annie Hall, Keaton also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Motion Picture and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
Keaton was nominated for three further Oscars - all in the best actress category - for her work in Something's Gotta Give, Marvin's Room, and Reds.
Throughout her more than five-decade career, Keaton starred in dozens of other films including The Family Stone, Because I Said So, And So It Goes, as well as a number of other Woody Allen films like Play It Again, Sam, Sleeper, Love and Death, and Manhattan.
Keaton made her film debut in the 1970 romantic comedy Lovers and Other Strangers. Her most recent film was the 2024 comedy Summer Camp where she starred alongside Eugene Levy and Kathy Bates.
Both in her film roles and in her personal life, Keaton was known for her unique style, which often featured menswear and a wide-brimmed hat.
She never married and had two adopted children - a daughter, Dexter, and a son, Duke.
In her 2011 autobiography, titled Then Again, Keaton wrote: I have assessed my happiness ratio and this is the result. I am totally content whenever the ones I love are happy about something little, big, insignificant, whatever.
I just don't think anyone could possibly have the same wonderful, intense, compelling feelings that I have for this family of mine.
