(KRON) — California Governor Gavin Newsom is sharing his thoughts on the passing of actress Diane Keaton, who died in California at age 79.
A family spokesperson confirmed her death to People on Saturday and asked the public to respect the privacy of her loved ones.
The Los Angeles-born actress was known for her roles in classics such as “The Godfather,” “Annie Hall,” “Father of the Bride” and “The First Wives Club.”
Gov. Newsom released a statement, saying, “Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball — uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon. Jen and I join her many friends in mourning this remarkable woman.”
Further details about Keaton’s death were not immediately available.
