Chilling 911 call captures Diane Keaton’s last hours

The sudden news of Diane Keaton, 79, death shocked fans and celebrities alike, with many sharing heartfelt tributes and memories of the Oscar-winning actress.

Now, another chilling detail has come to light, a 911 call revealing her final moments. According to audio obtained by TMZ, a dispatcher can be heard calling the Los Angeles Fire Department to respond to reports of a "person down" at Keaton’s home shortly after 8 am on Saturday, October 11. "Rescuer 19, person down," the dispatcher is heard saying.

She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

But close friends of the 'Something’s Gotta Give', 'The Godfather', and 'Reds' star remember that Keaton had become increasingly reclusive over the past year.

One longtime friend, songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, recalled being struck by how thin Keaton had appeared before her sudden death. “I saw her two or three weeks ago, and she was very thin,” Sager, 81, said. “She had lost so much weight.”

Friends and family remember Diane Keaton’s last months

Diane Keaton spent her final moments surrounded by her loved ones, a relative told the Associated Press, with the family asking for privacy. Few other details have been shared.

Longtime friend and songwriter Sager also spoke about how the actress had been affected by the wildfires that swept through Los Angeles earlier this year, as per Daily Mail.

“She had to go to Palm Springs because her house was damaged inside and they had to clean everything,” Sager explained. “She was down there for a while, and when she came back, I was kind of stunned by how much weight she'd lost,” the Grammy and Oscar-winning lyricist shared.

Sager described her late friend as “a magic light for everyone.”

“I just loved her,” she added. “She was so special, she just lit up a room with her energy.” In her final months, Keaton remained surrounded only by her closest family, who kept the situation very private.

Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening. Her passing prompted heartfelt tributes from Hollywood celebs including Leonardo DiCaprio, Bette Midler, Francis Ford Coppola, and others.
