On the 10th anniversary of Robin Williams' death, his daughter disputes a viral photo of him.
The cast and admirers of 'Good Will Hunting' star paid tribute to the actor who took his own life in 2014.
Zelda Williams, daughter of the late Robin Williams, wants to clarify certain things on the 10th anniversary of his death.
She shared a photo of her father with a monkey on his shoulder on X.
The last photo of Williams, taken a few days before his death by suicide at age 63 in 2014, was shared on an account.
I have been informed that some AI-generated false information, such as the claim that my father owned a pet monkey, is going viral. It is important to note that owning a monkey as a pet is not ethical and should never be considered. If you are tempted to own a exotic animal, please support your local animal rescue organizations instead.
Crystal the Monkey, who played his costar in the "Night at the Museum films," now resides at one.
Crystal visited Williams for his birthday, as seen in the second to last post on his Instagram account.
Instagram has marked the page with the word "remembering," indicating that the account has been preserved by the platform.
Zelda wrote that since false or poorly researched posts are more likely to go viral on Dad's death anniversary, it's best to assume they're all false and ignore the creepy robots trying to farm clicks. Instead, do something nice for yourself. She sure as hell will.
Zelda, Cody, and Zak are Williams' children from different marriages.

Zak honored his father on X by posting a photo of Williams portraying Mork from "Mork and Mindy" on social media.
"It's hard to believe it's been 10 years. Today, I'm reflecting on how much you loved all of us—your family, friends, and everyone you met. You inspire me daily to contribute to making our family's world more connected and loving. I love you forever," he wrote.
Williams was also fondly remembered by some of his famous friends and co-stars.
In a post on X, Billy Crystal expressed his sentiment of "Ten years gone, we all miss you" accompanied by a photo of the comedians from their movie, "Father’s Day."
Robin Williams was one-of-a-kind, and it was a privilege to witness him create on the spot. Robin, may you rest in peace.
Sally Field shared a heartwarming tale of how Robin Williams helped her through the loss of her father.
"She told Vanity Fair that she was beside herself when she came on set, trying her hardest to act. She wasn't crying, but Robin came over and asked, 'Are you okay?'"
After she informed him of what had transpired, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, we must immediately remove you from this location."
"He made it happen, and they shot around me the rest of the day. I could go back to my house, call my brother, and make arrangements. It's a side of Robin that people rarely knew - he was very sensitive and intuitive," she said.
