Robin Williams's daughter finds unseen photos of late actor while cleaning home during coronavirus lockdown
Robin Williams' daughter Zelda Williams took to Twitter to share a precious discovery she made while doing some spring cleaning while in self-isolation.
Zelda, 30, shared a photo-booth printout of four photographs that show her late father and her smiling, laughing and even making funny faces at the camera. A social media user noticed and pointed out that the pictures had been taken from MTV's TRL booth.
Zelda responded to this and said, "Yep! Went with Dad and @iamjojo when I was like, 16? 17? Roundabout that, haha." Though Williams died in 2014, fans still love to catch updates such as these from his family.
As a response to Zelda's post, one fan shared, "Your dad was a comet that only comes around once in a lifetime. Special human being," while another added, "One side of my brain wants to cry. The other side wants to laugh and smile."
A third fan commented and wrote, "Thank you for sharing this. Childhood happiness is an incredibly pure and beautiful thing to think about." A fourth person chimed in, "Your father was my childhood idol, and I was fortunate to see his timeless classics time and time again. The world still misses him and grieves with you."
Zelda followed up her initial tweet with another that read, "30 seems old enough to finally become one of those people who organize their piles of old photographs in neatly labeled envelopes and acid free boxes... right?!"
She then went on to urge her fans and followers to stay indoors and stay busy and came up with a list of things people could do while in self-isolation. In another tweet, she suggested that one could make the bed, pick a cluttered shelf or drawer to re-organize, check on your plants and even spend an hour learning a new language.
Over the last couple of years, Zelda has often paid tribute to her late father. Back in 2018, she shared a heartfelt post on his birthday. She also took to Instagram and urged people to give back to society in her late father's honor. "If you'd like to do something in his honor, volunteer at your local homeless shelter, or look up how to make homeless aid backpacks. Give one in his name. He'd have loved that," she had shared.
Williams died at the age of 63 after taking his own life in 2014. Zelda is his second eldest child. She also has a 36-year-old brother, Zachary Pym Williams, and a 28-year-old brother, Cody Alan Williams. Williams' three children have often honored their father on social media and through other platforms. Zachary also took part in a suicide awareness campaign.
