Robin Williams’ daughter got her father’s iconic character in the latest viral Disney filter

The world lost one of the greatest comic minds in 2014 when Robin Williams died.

The legendary comedian and actor was known for his outrageous stand up comedy and playing alien from the Planet Ork Mork in “Mork and Mindy.” The younger of you out there will remember him from Mrs Doubtfire and Hook.

He was nominated for four Academy Awards and won one for his role as psychologist Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting.

But in 2014 Williams took his own life after he was diagnosed with Diffuse Lewy Body Disease. He also suffered with depression, anxiety and paranoia; conditions associated with this kind of dementia.

He left three children Zachary, Zelda and Cody who often pay tribute to their much-adored father. In one of Zelda’s latest social media posts she displayed something that many were quick to point out her dad’s spirit around her.

The 30-year-old, who is an actress in her own right, tried out a recent  “Which Disney character are you?” filter and got something that was very much close to her heart.

Robin Williams voiced the iconic Genie

Zelda shared the results on her Twitter account in a video that shows the filter randomly landing on her father’s character from Aladdin, the Genie. Williams voiced the iconic character in the 1992 version of the movie.

Her followers were quick to point out that it must be a sign from her late father, with one user writing: “What are the chances? I like to imagine that was your dad’s doing, making you laugh to this day!”

Another follower wrote: “Dad’s saying hi.”

While another added: “You’re not the first person whose parents give you signs that they are watching you my dad does a similar thing. He lets my family know he is watching us by leaving white feathers behind and his favorite number seen randomly.”

Pure happiness post

And another concluded: “Her reaction is priceless. You could still see the happiness there.” 

Since Zelda posted her tweet more than 2.4 million people have watched it with 152,000 reacting to her display of pure happiness when the genie comes up. One user pointed out how much Zelda looks like her legendary father when she laughs.
