The Annie Hall actress passed away in October at the age of 79 and it's now been confirmed her belongings - including her art collection and "notable fashion pieces from her coveted wardrobe" - are going under the hammer.

A statement from auctioneers Bonhams describes the sale as a "thoughtfully curated selection of fine art, interiors, iconic fashion, personal objects, and other creative touchstones", adding: "Comprised of American modern and contemporary fine art and photography, alongside interiors, notable fashion pieces from her coveted wardrobe, personal ephemera and entertainment memorabilia, the resulting collection illuminates Keaton's innate instinct for composition, restraint, and meaning."

The sale has been split into four auctions which take place in New York and Los Angeles as well as online with the first sale kicking off on May 31.

The Diane Keaton Collection: Architecture of an Icon - will be held as a live auction only in New York on June 8 and it will feature fashion pieces from brands including Ralph Lauren, as well as a collection of American fine art, a collage created by the actress herself and her original untitled script for her movie Annie Hall.

The other sales include the Tailored and Timeless collection, based around Diane's fashion, while At Home with Diane will focus on interiors and Chapters of an Edited Life will include more of her personal effects.

A statement released by Bonhams explained: "Held as a live auction in New York on June 8, The Diane Keaton Collection: Architecture of an Icon presents the full breadth of Keaton's creative canon ...

"Running concurrently are three online auctions, each dedicated to one of Keaton's fundamental touchstones: high fashion, interior design and decorative arts, and storied ephemera from both her personal and professional lives."

Diane died on 11 October at the age of 79 after being struck down with a bout of pneumonia.

Her family revealed her cause of death to PEOPLE magazine and thanked fans for their "extraordinary" messages of support.

The statement read: "The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11."

The family also suggested those who wanted to pay tribute to the Godfather star could make a donation to one of her favourite causes.

They added: "She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her."
