The outlet reported that Paulson, 50, was accompanied by several other women leaving the house, with sources confirming that the two had been friends for “many years.”
Their friendship was well known in Hollywood circles and even documented in 2021 Interview magazine feature film, in which Keaton answered 25 questions from her friends.
One came from Paulson, who asked, “If your house was on fire and you could only save one thing, what would it be?” Keaton had replied with her trademark warmth and humor, “My dog, Reggie.”
Paulson followed with another question: “What person, place or thing makes your heart sing? (You can tell me.)” Keaton playfully agreed, replying, “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.”
Following the tragic news of Keaton’s passing, tributes poured in from fans and friends alike.
Her First Women’s Club costar Goldie Hawn shared an emotional message on Instagram, writing, “Diane, we are not ready to lose you. You have left us with a trail of fairy dust, filled with particles of light and memories beyond our imagination.”
Hawn continued, “How do we say goodbye? What words can come to mind when your heart is broken? You never liked praise, so humble, but now you can’t tell me to shut up, darling. There was and never will be anyone like you.”
Recalling their time together, she said, “You stole the hearts of the world and shared your genius with millions, making films that made us laugh and cry in ways only you could. I was blessed to make First Wives Club with you, our days started with coffee in the makeup trailer, laughing and joking, right up to the very last day of filming. It was a rollercoaster of love.”
Although no cause of death has yet been revealed, Keaton’s longtime friend and songwriter Carole Bayer told Sager PEOPLE that the actress has seemed noticeably vulnerable in recent weeks.
“I saw her two or three weeks ago and she was very thin,” Sager said. “She had lost so much weight.”
Sager said Keaton spent time in Palm Springs earlier this year after her home was damaged by the California wildfires of January 2025.
“She had to go to Palm Springs because her house was damaged inside, and they had to clean everything out,” Sager said.
“She was there for a while, and when she came back, I was quite stunned by how much weight she had lost.”
Sager remembered her late friend and described Keaton as “a magical light for everyone.”
She added: “I just loved her. She was so special, she just lit up a room with her energy. She was happy and cheerful and took pictures of everything she saw. She was completely creative; she never stopped creating.”
