The aspiring actress took to Instagram to commemorate her late father’s birthday by posting a picturesque snap of clouds in the sky.

She accompanied the image with the words, “Kinda hoping I fly thru that very cloud on the way home.”

The touching photo Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda shared to celebrate her later father’s birthday.

The 25-year-old, who in the past has stepped away from social media, added: “I will be taking a break from social media in the coming weeks. It’s a time better served away from the opinions or sentiments of others, and I appreciate your understanding.”

She then explained to her some 122,000 followers: “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!”

Robin’s on-screen daughter Sarah Michelle Gellar also shared her feelings on social media writing, “Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it’s breaking Happy Birthday RW [Robin Williams]”

Almost a year on from his death, it’s clear the loss of Robin Williams is still just as painful.
