Zelda Williams remembers her father, Robin Williams, on his birthday.

Robin Williams would have turned 64 today.

As the world stops to remember him, his daughter Zelda Williams took to social media.

As you no doubt recall, the comic genius took his life last August after battling with depression. On the eve of Robin Williams’ birthday, Zelda stated that she would be backing away from social media.

She had this to say on her Instagram account:

"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.

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!"

Zelda has always been an avid user of social media. When her dad passed away, she posted this quote on Instagram:

It is heartening to note that the comments that followed her Instagram post were positive ones. Fans sent prayers and reflected on the actor’s greatness.

Zelda followed her moving Instagram post up with this tweet:
