In a moving and deeply emotional ceremony in Los Angeles, Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn paid a heartfelt tribute to her longtime friend Diane Keaton, whose passing has left an irreplaceable void in the world of cinema and in the hearts of millions.

Goldie, visibly overcome with emotion, arrived hand in hand with partner Kurt Russell, dressed in understated black. As she took the podium, her voice trembled, but her words carried a warmth and honesty that filled the quiet room.

“Diane wasn’t just a star,” Hawn began softly. “She was a light — bright, unpredictable, and beautifully human. She taught us that being yourself is the bravest thing you can ever do.”

The audience — a mix of friends, family, and Hollywood icons — listened in silence as Goldie shared stories of laughter and late-night conversations, of Diane’s quirky humor, her compassion, and the effortless grace she brought to every role and every friendship.

“She never followed trends, she created them,” Goldie continued, her eyes glistening with tears. “And she reminded me — and all of us — that age never dims beauty, and kindness never goes out of style.”

As the ceremony drew to a close, Goldie looked toward Diane’s portrait — a black-and-white image of her iconic smile — and whispered, “Thank you for being my friend.”

The moment was met with quiet sobs and standing applause, a final tribute to a woman who changed the way the world saw love, life, and art.

Even in goodbye, Diane Keaton’s spirit shone through — radiant, timeless, and unforgettable.
