2025 was a doozy of a year for the general populace. Between economic uncertainty, political unrest, and the hope for a better tomorrow seemingly slipping further away, this year has certainly been one for the history books. But celebrities also went through horrifying misfortunes over the last 12 months. Between the devastating California wildfires that completely ravaged the state's historic, scenic communities to personal health crises that impacted their careers, to the loss of loved ones, Hollywood's best and brightest experienced some major losses in 2025. And they're absolutely heartbreaking!
Goldie Hawn, for example, lost her longtime friend, Diane Keaton, to pneumonia in October. Following Keaton's death, Hawn shared a beautifully poignant message about their bond and the friendship they shared. "Diane, we aren't ready to lose you," she wrote on Instagram. "You've left us with a trail of fairy dust, filled with particles of light and memories beyond imagination." She continued, How do we say goodbye? What words can come to mind when your heart is broken? You never liked praise, so humble, but now you can't tell me to 'shut up' honey. There was, and will be, no one like you." Unfortunately, Hawn was just one of several celebrities who faced a tragic loss in 2025.
