Robin William's daughter Zelda Williams is on a break from social media on the second anniversary of her father's death.

"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 memorialize 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 publicity acknowledge or join in doing so," she wrote on her Instagram and Twitter accounts. "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 continued, "Thus, I'll be excusing myself for a bit. Hearts just need little breaks sometimes."



Williams committed suicide in his Paradise Cay, California home Aug. 11, 2014. He was 63.

"If you'd like to celebrate his life by celebrating causes he loved, you need only google, and you'll find wonderful charities like the @ReeveFoundation, @CAFoundation and many more, she tweeted Sunday.

This isn't the first time Zelda has taken a hiatus from social media.
