Diane Keaton’s friend Sarah Paulson was seen crying as she left the late actress’s Los Angeles home on Saturday — hours after it was confirmed the “Family Stone” star had died at the age of 79.
The “American Horror Story” actress, 50, appeared distraught during the visit and at another point was seen hugging someone outside.
Paulson was then seen sitting in a black car driving down the street after leaving Keaton’s house.
Other people, including a woman dressed in striped clothes, were also seen gathering at the actress’ residence.
The “Ratched” star and Keaton were longtime friends.
In July 2021, Paulson was photographed having dinner with her longtime partner Holland Taylor in Beverly Hills, California. Later that year, the three also stopped by Il Piccolino restaurant in West Hollywood.
In a June 2021 chat with Interview Magazine, Keaton answered questions from famous friends like Paulson.
“What person, place, or thing makes your heart sing? (You could say me),” Paulson quipped, to which Keaton responded, “Of course, Sarah, you make my heart sing. My friends make my heart sing. My children make my heart sing. But Lilette Blanc makes my heart sing. There’s a lot of ice.”
Since news of her death broke, many celebrities have posted emotional tributes to the legendary actress.
Keaton’s Father of the Bride co-star Steve Martin shared a black-and-white photo of Keaton with X and simply wrote, “I love you.” He then added, “La dee da, la dee da,” a famous line from the 1977 film “Annie Hall.”
Mandy Moore also remembered Keaton, 18 years after they co-starred in the 2007 romantic comedy film “Because I Said So.”
“They say you don’t meet your heroes, but I got to work with one of my heroes and even got to call her ‘mom’ for a few months. A once in a lifetime honor,” she wrote alongside a photo of them appearing in the film.
“Di was such a brilliant human being, and I’m so sad to see her go, for so many reasons, but also because it felt like she was here forever, dazzling us with her talent and charm (and her style)!!! One of the greatest of all time. My love to her children and loved ones.”
Other stars, including Bette Midler, Rosie O’Donnell and Goldie Hawn, also responded with heartfelt messages.
Keaton never married, but famously dated Al Pacino, Woody Allen, and Warren Beatty. She became a single mother in her 50s after adopting two children, daughter Dexter in 1996 and son Duke in 2001.
