Robin Williams' daughter Zelda has shared her delight at unearthing some "old gems" during a spring clean on Tuesday. The actress was keeping herself busy while she is self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic, and got a shock when she found some old polaroid photos of herself with her late dad. "Isolation spring cleaning is turning up some fun old gems," she wrote on Twitter. The montage of photos sees the pair pull a series of animated faces for the camera.

Robin took his own life on 11 August 2014 at the age of 63 – but he remains a source of inspiration for his daughter. "A lot of what I try to do is interact with the world the way he did," she previously told ET. "He didn't care who someone was; he did a lot of work with the homeless, he did a lot of work with people in prison, as my mum does now, and he was always kind. It meant a lot to him, so I kind of hope to, if nothing else, be that."

I am utterly heartbroken." She added: "It is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
