It's been just over two years since Robin Williams's tragic death, and his daughter, Zelda, seems to have finally found some peace. The 27-year-old actress stopped by Chelsea this week and opened up about how she was able to move on and find a silver lining following her famous dad's heartbreaking suicide. "I just kept going, 'Well, okay. Today I'm going to wake up and love what I do. And then tomorrow I'm going to wake up and be happy and love what I do. And then the next day.' Because that's all you can do," she said. "For a while no one would let me do anything. I think there's, like, that reaction of like, 'Oh sh*t. Are you okay?'" The interview is just the latest time Zelda has talked about her dad. In addition to getting a tattoo in his honor, she also opened up about their close bond on the Today show and wished him a happy birthday on Instagram.
