Robin Williams' Daughter Honors His Legacy By Vowing To Continue His Charity Work

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda, is committed to honoring the late actor's life in a beautiful way.

On Thursday, the "Today" show aired an interview with Zelda Williams, in which she talked about her father's death and legacy. While the 25-year-old touched on a variety of details in her dad's life, she emphasized his love for giving back.

"He’s done charity as long as he had the wherewithal and the ability to do it," she told "Today." "That was what his favorite thing, other than comedy, really was."

According to her Instagram page, the 25-year-old will present a $50,000 donation to her father's former triathlon teammates, Ironman Scott Tinley and Paralympian Rudy Garcia-Tolson, from the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), a group with which Robin Williams frequently worked, that supports athletes with physical disabilities. The donation, which will be presented at Friday's Noble Awards honoring humanitarians, will go toward a fund created by CAF in the late actor's memory.

Zelda Williams also expressed her commitment to carrying out the work her father was so passionate about.

"I will do everything else in my (decidedly less athletic) power to continue Dad's legacy and support the charities he loved that I've watched firsthand change thousands of lives," she wrote on Instagram.
