Diane Keaton’s grieving son Duke was seen for the first time after his mother’s death as he left the late actress’ LA home on Sunday.
Duke, 25, was dressed all in black as he mourned the loss of the Hollywood star who adopted him as a baby.
Yet he found a unique way to pay tribute to the Oscar winner – by wearing two cross necklaces in a look made famous by Diane.
She was renowned for her eclectic fashion sense which often included wearing multiple pieces of jewelry along with her signature hats.
Duke – who has an older sister Dexter, also adopted as a baby by Keaton – is a musician and released his debut single Passenger Princes in August.

Duke was seen hours after his mother’s final moments were revealed with the release of the 911 call made to emergency responders.
The recording, obtained Sunday by TMZ, reveals a dispatcher calling for the LA Fire Department to respond to reports of a ‘person down’ at Keaton’s home address shortly after 8 a.m. on Saturday.
The actress was transported to a nearby hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
She had been with loved ones when she passed, a relative told the Associated Press, and the family requested privacy. No further details have been released.
Keaton was 55 when she adopted Duke in 2001 after adopting her daughter several years earlier in 1996.
‘They have no interest in what I do, which I think is very healthy,’ Keaton told People in 2007 about her children.
‘We live a relatively normal — well, sort of normal — life.’

Close friends of the Annie Hall, Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club star have recalled how she had become increasingly reclusive in the past year with one longtime friend, the songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, remarking how shockingly thin Keaton had become before her shock death.
‘I saw her two or three weeks ago, and she was very thin,’ Sager, 81, recalled. ‘She had lost so much weight.
Sager explained that Keaton had been affected by the wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles in January.
‘She had to go to Palm Springs because her house has been damaged inside and they had to clean everything.’
‘She was down there for a while, and when she came back , I was kind of stunned by how much weight she’d lost,’ the Grammy and Oscar award-winning lyricist shared.
Sager described her late friend as ‘a magic light for everyone.’
‘I just loved her,’ she said. ‘She was so special, she just lit up a room with her energy.’
Another of Keaton’s confidantes told People that the actress’ health fell off a cliff in recent months, something ‘which was heartbreaking for everyone who loved her.’
The insider added: ‘She declined very suddenly. It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit.’
‘In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private. Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.’
