Robin Williams was one of the world’s best-loved comedians and actors and today sadly marks the seventh anniversary of his death. The star died by suicide on August 11, 2014 at 63-years-old and had been struggling with Lewy body disease. Among tributes today was one from his son Zak Williams, which he posted on his Twitter.
Zak tweeted a picture of his father Robin with a beard and gave a touching message.

“You lived to bring laughter and to help others. I will be celebrating your memory today. Love you forever.”
Robin would have been 70-years-old last month and his daughter Zelda tweeted thanks to fans for tributes around that time.
