Diane Keaton sadly died at the age of 79, with her family confirming the news yesterday night (October 11).

In a statement given to PEOPLE, Diane's loved ones revealed that she had passed away in California and requested privacy as they navigate their grief.

The actress raised her daughter, 29, and son, 25, as a single mum, as Diane admitted she "thought" about becoming a parent and wasn't going to wait until she met a partner.

Speaking to Ladies Home Journal in 2008, the late star said: "I was never going to be prepared to be a mother. Motherhood was not an urge I couldn't resist.

"It was more like a thought I'd been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in. I think I'm the only one in my generation, and maybe before, who has been a single woman all her life."
