According to the certificate, Keisha was laid to rest in Los Angeles on 20 December, two weeks after she passed.

Forest and Keisha were married for over 20 years and had two children together, Sonnet, 27, and True, 25.

"Goodbye mommy," True wrote on her Instagram Stories following Keisha's passing. "I love you 4ever and beyond. the most beautiful woman in the world ... thank you for teaching me every single thing I know. I'll see you in my dreams and I'll feel you in my heart."

Keisha also had another daughter Autumn, 32, from a previous relationship.

Forest met Keisha on the set of the 1994 action thriller Blown Away. They were married in 1996, before Forest filed for divorce in 2018.
