Robin Williams' Daughter Zelda Williams And Co-Star Sarah Michelle Gellar Honor The Late Actor On What Would Have Been His 64th Birthday

On the day that would have been Robin Williams 64th birthday, the late actor is being remembered and honored by his daughter, Zelda Williams.

The 25-year-old aspiring actress posted a photo of the sun rays breaking through a cloudy sky with the caption, "Kinda hoping I fly thru that very cloud on the way home."

Zelda, who took a break from social media last summer after she became a target of cyberbullying following her father's suicide in 2014, announced she would be doing the same thing over the next few weeks in order to stay away from other people's "opinions or sentiments."

"I will be taking a break from social media in the coming weeks," she wrote. "It's a time better served away from the opinions or sentiments of others, and I appreciate your understanding."

"In my absence, I understand there will be those who wish to leave messages regarding Dad on my board, but please attempt to be respectful and kind to one another in the process, both because I will not be here to delete or mediate trolling, and because kindness is in short supply these days anyhow. Thanks guys. Buh-bye now!"

Last year, Robin was found dead in his California home after taking his own life.

In an interview in February, Zelda told "Today" that she was moving forward with her life following her father's unexpected death, saying, "There's no point questioning it and no point blaming anyone else for it, and there's no point blaming yourself or the world or whatever the case may be because it happened. So you have to continue to move and you have to continue to live and manage."

Amongst those who chose to remember the late actor's birthday is former co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar. The 38-year-old actress, who played Williams' daughter on the short-lived sitcom "The Crazy Ones," also took to Instagram to honor Robin. She posted an adorable snap of the two hugging, along with a sweet birthday message: "Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking Happy Birthday RW #RobinWilliams #HappyBirthdayRobin," she wrote, referencing the classic Charlie Chaplin song.
