Paulson and Keaton have had a close friendship over the years – and have been previously spotted spending time together.

The trio were seen enjoying a lowkey dinner outing later that same year as they stopped by Il Piccolino restaurant in West Hollywood.
During a past conversation with Interview Magazine, Keaton had answered questions from famous pals such as Paulson.
‘What person, place, or thing makes your heart sing? (You can say me),’ Paulson had humorously said.
In response, the Book Blub actress expressed, ‘Of course, Sarah, you make my heart sing. My friends make my heart sing.
‘My kids make my heart sing. But also, Lillet Blanc makes my heart sing. With lots of ice.’

A number of Hollywood stars have paid emotional tributes to the late actress after the news of her passing came to light.
Actor Steve Martin expressed his sorrow in a heartfelt tribute to Keaton. They were co-stars in the 1991 film “Father Of The Bride” and its sequel four years later.
The actor jumped to X to share a black and white photo of Keaton while also simply typing out, ‘Loved.’
Martin then added, ‘La dee da,la dee da,’ which is a famous line from Keaton’s 1977 movie Annie Hall.
Mandy Moore also remembered Keaton – 18 years after the two stars worked together on the 2007 romantic comedy Because I Said So.
Sharing an image from the film, Martin reflected, ‘There’s a saying that you shouldn’t meet your idols, but I had the privilege of working with mine and even called her “mom” for several months. It was a lifetime honor.’
Julianne Moore added, ‘Diane was a brilliant and captivating person, both in life and in her incredible performances. Her departure is heart-wrenching for many reasons, including the belief that she would continue to amaze us endlessly with her talent and unique style.’
‘One of the very best to ever do it. All my love to her children and loved ones,’ she concluded.

She took to Instagram and alongside a photo of the late star, Midler wrote, ‘The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has died.
