Bette Midler<\/a> has led tributes to the “extraordinary” Diane Keaton following her death.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tributes have been paid to Diane Keaton following her death<\/p>\n

The passing of the Oscar-winning actress at the age of 79 was announced by her family on Saturday (11.10.25) and Bette – her co-star in the 1996 comedy flick The First Wives Club – is among those from the film industry who have paid tribute to the Hollywood icon.<\/p>\n

Bette wrote on Instagram: “The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton<\/a> has died. I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me. She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star. What you saw was who she was… oh, la, lala!”<\/p>\n

Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who played Keaton’s daughter in the Father of the Bride comedy films, described working with the Annie Hall star as one of the “highlights of (her) life”.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old star wrote on the social media platform: “Diane, working with you will always be one of the highlights of my life. You are one of a kind, and it was thrilling to be in your orbit for a time. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, your talent, and above all, your laughter.”<\/p>\n

\nMary Steenburgen, who starred with Keaton in both the 2018 film Book Club and its 2023 sequel Book Club: The Next Chapter, described her as “magic”.<\/p>\n

\nIn a statement shared with Deadline, she said: “Diane was magic. There was no one, nor will there ever be, anyone like her. I loved her and felt blessed to be her friend. My love to her family. What a wonder she was!!!”<\/p>\n

\nElsewhere, director Paul Feig reflected on the pride he felt in calling Keaton a “friend”.<\/p>\n

\nThe Bridesmaids filmmaker posted on X: “I was so honoured to call Diane Keaton a friend. She was an amazingly kind and creative person who also just happened to be a Hollywood legend. She has been taken from us far too soon. We will miss you, Diane.”<\/p>\n

\nBeauty and the Beast star Luke Evans posted a selfie of himself with The Godfather actress and remembered her as “such a brilliant actor”.<\/p>\n

\nHe wrote: “What a sad day. Rest in peace #dianekeaton. Such a brilliant actor, a kind heart and full of graciousness with a shining independent spirit.”<\/p>\n
