The daughter of late comedian Robin Williams, who died of an apparent suicide on Monday, wrote a heartfelt tribute to her father on Twitter, the evening of his death.

Actress Zelda Williams quoted Antoine De Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince” in her post: “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 laugh.”

Williams’ family has asked for privacy during this period of grief. The actor and comedian’s death was an apparent “suicide due to asphyxia,” according to the Marin County coroner. Williams was 63.
