Elise is bidding farewell to Annie.

Goldie Hawn penned an emotional tribute to her “The First Wives Club” co-star Diane Keaton, following the actress’s passing at 79.

“Diane, we’re not ready to let you go,” Hawn, also 79, expressed in an Instagram post on Saturday, accompanying it with a poignant black-and-white photograph of Keaton.

“You’ve sprinkled a magical trail of memories and light, leaving us with moments beyond imagination,” Hawn continued. “How do we part ways? What words can capture a heart left shattered? You always shunned accolades, ever so modest, but now you can’t hush me, my dear. There will never be another like you.”

Reflecting on their collaboration in the 2001 film “Town and Country,” Hawn remarked that Keaton “captured the hearts of countless people, sharing your brilliance through films that uniquely made us laugh and cry.”

“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,” Hawn recalled. “It was a roller coaster of love.”

Hawn also shared that the pair “agreed to grow old together, and one day, maybe live together with all our girlfriends.”

“Well, we never got to live together,” Hawn added, “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.”

At the end of her post, Hawn stated that her “heart goes out” to Keaton’s two adopted children, daughter Dexter, 29, and son Duke, 25.

“I love you,” Hawn concluded.

Hawn, Keaton and Bette Midler starred in “The First Wives Club” as three college friends and recent divorcées who seek revenge on their ex spouses. The 1996 movie helped revitalize the trio’s careers and has become a cult classic.

Midler, 79, shared her own tribute to Keaton on Instagram, reacting to the “brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary” actor’s death.

“I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me,” Midler wrote. “She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star. What you saw was who she was…oh, la, lala!”

Keaton, whose career spanned more than half a century, died Saturday in California, her family confirmed. A cause of death was not disclosed.

Keaton’s health allegedly “declined very suddenly” in the last few months.

“It was so unexpected,” a friend of Keaton’s told People Saturday, “especially for someone with such strength and spirit.”

The “Father of the Bride” actress last posted to her Instagram on April 11, sharing a photo with her Golden Retriever, Reggie. She had not been seen publicly in six months.
