The harrowing 999 audio from the emergency call made from Diane Keaton's home on the day she died has been made public. The Hollywood legend passed away in California after a sudden deterioration in her health, though the cause of death remains unknown.
The call was placed from the Oscar-winner's Los Angeles residence on October 11. The actress was rushed by ambulance and later pronounced dead. The audio to the fire department disclosed there was a "person down".
A friend told People Magazine: "She declined very suddenly, which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her. It was so unexpected." Songwriter Carole Bayer Sager noted that Keaton had become extremely thin in recent weeks and had been affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.
Tributes have poured in from stars including Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn. De Niro said: "I am deeply saddened by Diane's passing. She will be sorely missed." DiCaprio described her as "one of a kind. Brilliant, funny and unapologetically herself."
Keaton, known for films such as The Godfather, Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club, had previously spoken about her struggle with bulimia. She adopted two children, Dexter and Duke, and raised them as a single mother.
