Days after Diane Keaton died at 79, her family said in a statement to People that the Oscar winner died of pneumonia on October 11. The death, first reported by People with few details, had been confirmed only as occurring in California. The family thanked supporters for the outpouring of love and suggested donations to local food banks or animal shelters, noting Keaton’s devotion to animals and her support for the unhoused community. She is survived by her two children.
