Following Diane Keaton‘s death Saturday at 79, Hollywood is mourning the loss of a talented actress whose work spanned decades.

After the Oscar winner’s family announced her death on Saturday, many of Keaton’s peers in the industry took to social media to pay tribute to the late actress known for her performances in The Godfather (1972), Annie Hall (1977) and many other memorable titles.

Robert De Niro, who worked with Keaton several times since The Godfather Part II (1974) said in a statement, “I am very sad to hear of Diane’s passing. I was very fond of her, and the news of her leaving us has taken me totally by surprise. I was not expecting her to leave us. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.”

Leonardo DiCaprio wrote on his Instagram stories that “Diane Keaton was one of a kind. Brilliant, funny, and unapologetically herself. A legend, an icon, and a truly kind human being. I had the honor of working with her at 18. She will be deeply missed.”

Mary Steenburgen, Keaton’s co-star in Book Club (2018) and Book Club: The Next Chapter (2023), said in a statement shared with Deadline, “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!!!”

Their co-star Jane Fonda wrote on Instagram, “It’s hard to believe…or accept…that Diane has passed. She was always a spark of life and light, constantly giggling at her own foibles, being limitlessly creative…in her acting, her wardrobe, her books, her friends, her homes, her library, her world view. Unique is what she was. And, though she didn’t know it or wouldn’t admit it, man she was a fine actress!”
