“I am completely in shock. This is not real. I love you legend,” she wrote. “You brought my family together game after game in a way I cannot explain.. Rest easy while the world cries.”
3. She’s friends with Post Malone.
While it’s unclear how well the two know each other, it seems like the pair either worked with one another or know each other on some level. Diana is a post-production coordinator at Fox, so the pair may worked together on a project of some sort.
4. She’s an aunt.
Diana has at least one nephew, and recently celebrated becoming an aunt to her first niece.
On May 29, Diana posted a photo of herself holding her new baby niece.
“Yesterday I got to meet my first NIECE! & this is the best photo a tired daddy could take,” she wrote. “I love you so much, welcome to this crazy crazy world Layla Mae.”
5. She and Benjamin’s sister, Riley Keough, were close.
Diana posted multiple pictures of her and Riley hanging out in social settings, as well as pictures just the two of them.
Diana and Riley's husband, stuntman Ben Smith-Peterson, also share a birthday together. The pair were reportedly celebrating at a joint birthday party in Calabasas when Keough took his own life.
Our hearts go out to Diana and to Benjamin's family and friends during this most difficult time.
