Sarah Michelle Gellar is remembering Robin Williams on what would have been his 64th birthday.

The 38-year-old actress, who played Williams' daughter on the CBS sitcom The Crazy Ones, shared a touching photo today with a special message honoring the late comedian.

"Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking Happy Birthday RW #RobinWilliams #HappyBirthdayRobin," Gellar posted with a sweet black and white photo of her and Williams hugging.

Williams tragically committed suicide in August 2014.

Meanwhile, Williams' daughter Zelda Williams took to Instagram yesterday to announce her hiatus from social media

"I will be taking a break from social media in the coming weeks. It's a time better served away from the opinions or sentiments of others, and I appreciate your understanding," Zelda wrote on Instagram. "In my absence, I understand there will be those who wish to leave messages regarding Dad on my board, but please attempt to be respectful and kind to one another in the process, both because I will not be here to delete or mediate trolling, and because kindness is in short supply these days anyhow. Thanks guys. Buh-bye now!"

She added on Twitter, "Thanks for all the kind thoughts. Taking a break for a bit. Don't burn the place down while I'm gone!"
