Giulio Marcocchi/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Only hours after news broke of the death of comedian and actor Robin Williams at age 63, his daughter, Zelda, took to Twitter to pay an emotional tribute to her iconic father.
Actress Zelda Williams, 25, posted a touching quote from French poet Antoine De Saint-Exupery that read, “You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them…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.”
She closed the tribute by saying, in her own words, “I love you. I miss you. I’ll try to keep looking up.”

Zelda’s tweet mirrors the late comedian’s last Instagram post two weeks ago, where he showed his undying love for his only daughter on her 25th birthday.
“#tbt and Happy Birthday to Ms. Zelda Rae Williams! Quarter of a century old today but always my baby girl. Happy Birthday @zeldawilliams Love you!” Williams posted.
Williams, who died Monday in suspected a suicide, according to police, is survived by his wife, Susan Schenider, and two other children, Zachary, 31, and Cody, 23.
