$G$-invariant de Rham theorem

Let $M$ be a compact manifold, the theorem of de Rham asserts that this is an isomorphism between de Rham cohomology and singular cohomology. Suppose that $M$ admits a smooth group $G$, where $G$ is a compcat Lie group. We can define the complex of $G$-invaraint forms with differential whose cohomology is denoted by $H^{*,G}_{dR}(M)$; and complex of $G$-invariant cochain with real coefficient, whose cohomology is denoted by $H^{*,G}(M)$.

I guess that $H^{*,G}_{dR}(M)\cong H^{*,G}(M)$.

Q 1. Did someone already show this(any reference), or its proof is exactly the same as the de Rham Theorem? (I can not image any obstruction)

or

  1. It is wrong, with a counter-example?
