Following Diane Keaton's death, many actors paid their tribute on social media. Goldie Hawn, who also starred in The First Wives Club, wrote in an Instagram post:

" ... I was blessed to make First Wives Club with you, our days starting with coffee in the makeup trailer, laughing and joking, right through to the very last day of filming. It was a roller coaster of love." "We agreed to grow old together, and one day, maybe live together with all our girlfriends. Well, we never got to live together, but we did grow older together. Who knows… maybe in the next life. Shine your fairy dust up there, girlfriend. I’m going to miss the hell out of you," she added.

Hawn also offered her love to Keaton's daughter, Dexter, and son, Duke.

Jane Fonda, who starred with Diane Keaton in Book Club, also shared a post on Instagram, writing:

"It’s hard to believe...or accept…that Diane has passed. She was always a spark of life and light, constantly giggling at her own foibles, being limitlessly creative…in her acting, her wardrobe, her books, her friends, her homes, her library, her world view. Unique is what she was. And, though she didn’t know it or wouldn’t admit it, man she was a fine actress!"

Book Club was a romantic comedy, which was released on May 18, 2018, and also starred the likes of Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen.
