“You — you alone will have the stars as no one else has them…” she wrote on both Instagram and Twitter on the early hours of Tuesday morning. “In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night… You — only you will have stars that can laugh.”
“I love you. I miss you. I’ll try to keep looking up, Z,” she added.
Zelda’s heartfelt tribute comes just hours after her father Robin Williams was found dead at his home in Tiburon, California, from an apparent suicide.
