New details about Diane Keaton‘s death have emerged.
The Oscar winner—who starred in films Annie Hall, Father of the Bride and Something’s Gotta Giveamong others, throughout her decades-long career—died at age 79 from pneumonia, her family confirmed to People Oct. 15.
Diane’s family added in a statement to the outlet, “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane.”
She is survived by her two kids: Dexter29, and Duke25.
While Keaton kept much of her private life out of the public eye, she did previously share her thoughts on death and leaving behind her two kids.
“I’m very aware that my dad died when he was 68, and my mother was in her early 70s when her brain really started to go,” she told AARP in 2012, per Parade. “When I think about my kids in their 20s and 30s, and me in my 70s and 80s, I worry about that, definitely.”
“I want to be there for them,” Keaton continued. “I want my body and mind to stay strong, and to share all these life lessons. But I also know they need to have the freedom and independence to learn on their own.”
