Robin Williams death: Daughter Zelda pays tribute to her late father

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 12 Agustus 2014 | 22.19

Robin Williams's daughter Zelda Williams has paid tribute to her late father, posting a tear-jerking message on Twitter following the death of the American comedian and Oscar winner.

Zelda Williams, 25, quoted Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's book The Little Prince, adding the promise, "I'll try to keep looking up" in a tweet.

The 63-year-old actor is believed to have killed himself Monday at his San Francisco Bay Area home after a battle with addiction and severe depression.

In an emotional post just two weeks before his death, the actor sent a heartwarming message to Zelda for her 25th birthday that included an old snapshot of the pair in happier times.

In addition to his daughter, named after the popular Nintendo game The Legend of Zelda, Williams is survived by her brother Cody Alan Williams, 19, his third wife, Susan Schneider, and his son from his first marriage, Zachary Pym Williams.

Like his father and sister, Cody has tried his hand at Hollywood, working as an assistant director. 

According to the Internet Movie Database, he recently worked with Canadian director David Cronenberg in Los Angeles on Maps to the Stars

Little is known about Williams's eldest son, Zachary. The 31-year-old is the only child from Williams's first marriage to Valerie Velardi. The couple was married in 1979, but according to People magazine, divorced acrimoniously in 1989 after Williams had an affair with the live-in nanny Marsha Garces. She later became his second wife.

Schneider was the last person to see the actor alive at 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Just before noon Monday, the Sheriff's Department received an emergency call from the home, where​ Williams was later pronounced dead. 

Shortly after a preliminary investigation determined the cause of death was suicide due to asphyxia, Schneider released an emotional statement on the family's behalf:

"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken," it said.

"On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."

Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.
