Actor Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda is taking a break from social media to mourn his father's death anniversary, which is on August 11.
The 27-year-old actress shared a post on her Twitter and Instagram that she wants to remember her father privately.
"So, it's that time of year again. I will be taking another break off social media.
"For those who always ask why, it's so people can memorialise Dad on the anniversary of his death however they wish without me having to feel bombarded by it, or pressured by the expectation put on myself or my family to publicly acknowledge or join in doing so," she wrote.
The "Dead of Summer" star thanked her social media followers and other people for the immense love and respect they have for her father.
"I will always be so grateful for all the love the world had and continues to have for dad, but for obvious reasons, it's sometimes harder to be the sort of surviving public vessel for receiving those sentiments, and one often expected to somehow flawlessly express them back," she added.
Zelda continued, "Obviously the world will keep on spinning. This is hardly an important issue, my main point being you should continue to remember Dad however you want! I'll just be doing so privately.
