Zelda Rae Williams posted an emotional and touching Tweet on Monday night in honor of her late father, actor Robin Williams.
Zelda posted a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince.”
“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,” reads the passage she posted.

“#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!,” he wrote in the post.
