Zelda Williams Honors Her Dad, Robin, on What Would Have Been His 65th Birthday

Updated on July 22, 2016 at 5:00 AM

Still not really sure what to do on days like today… I know I can't give you a present anymore, but I guess that means I'll just have to keep giving them in your name instead. This year, I tried to help three causes you cared about in one; rescue dogs, people suffering from disabilities, and our nation's wounded veterans, so I donated to freedomservicedogs.org. They rescue pups from shelters and train them so that they can be paired with someone in dire need of their help and companionship. Thought you'd get a kick out of furry, four legged friends helping change the world, one warrior in need at a time. Happy birthday Poppo. Shasha, Zakky, Codeman and I all love you and miss you like crazy. Xo

Thursday marked what would have been Robin Williams's 65th birthday, and his daughter, Zelda, paid tribute to the late comedian with an emotional Instagram snap. She posted a photo of her herself and her brothers, Zachary and Cody, with their dad and captioned it with a sweet message: "I know I can't give you a present anymore, but I guess that means I'll just have to keep giving them in your name instead." Zelda explained that she donated to a service dog rescue organization in Robin's honor to help "three causes you cared about." See her tearjearking tribute, then look back on Robin's extraordinary life in pictures.
