Robin Williams' daughter has been forced off Twitter after internet trolls posted a fake photograph claiming it was her dead father.



Zelda Williams, 25, made an appeal to her 169,000 followers to report two users on Twitter who sent the image to her account.

She wrote: 'I'm shaking. I can't. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won't open it. Don't either. Please.'

The image has since been revealed to be a fake which was digitally altered to look like Robin Williams.

The two accounts responsible for the messages, @PimpStory and @MrGoosebuster, have now been suspended.



Furious Twitter users were quick to respond to Zelda to show her their support.



One wrote: 'I hope @zeldawilliams knows the people who love her outnumber the scumbags by about 94,000,000 to 1.'

In recent years Twitter has come under fire for failing to protect its users from trolls. Robin Williams’ daughter, Zelda Williams, left the social platform last year after being sent disturbing images in the wake of her father’s death. She made an appeal to her followers to report two users on Twitter (shown above)

While another wrote: '@zeldawilliams that is the saddest and sickest thing I have ever seen. I am ashamed if (sic) humanity.'

Later Zelda deleted the tweet but explained how she planned to delete her Twitter account, maybe forever.



She wrote: 'I’m sorry. I should’ve risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye.'

Zelda has also said she plans to not use Instagram until she 'heals'. She posted: 'I will be leaving this account for a bit while I heal and decide if I’ll be deleting it or not.



'In this difficult time, please try to be respectful of the accounts of myself, my family and my friends.

'Mining our accounts for photos of dad, or judging me on the number of them is cruel and unnecessary.



'There are a couple throughout, but the real private moments I shared with him were precious, quiet, and believe it or not, not full of photos or ‘selfies’.

'I shared him with a world where everyone was taking their photo with him, but I was lucky enough to spend time with him without cameras too.



Robin Williams posted this photograph of him and his daughter Zelda on her 25th birthday

'That was more than enough, and I’m grateful for what little time I had.

'My favorite photos of family are framed in my house, not posted on social media, and they‘ll remain there.



'They would’ve wound up on the news or blogs then, and they certainly would now. That’s not what I want for our memories together. Thank you for your respect and understanding in this difficult time. Goodbye. Xo'.

Last night the actor's heartbroken daughter released a statement about the death of her father.



She wrote: 'My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare.

'My last day with him was his birthday and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter.



'He was always warm, even in his darkest moments.'

Robin Williams hanged himself on Sunday night while his wife slept in a nearby bedroom.

He had several superficial cuts on the inside of his left wrist.



A pocket knife with what appeared to be dried blood was discovered nearby.

The Mrs Doubtfire and Good Will Hunting star's suicide comes after decades of battling depression and alcohol and drug addiction.



He was also facing significant financial pressures and admitted he was selling a $35million estate in Napa because he could no longer afford it.

Williams struggled with depression and an addiction to cocaine and alcohol for decades. Last month the married father of three was back in rehab 'fine-tuning' his sobriety in a year where he had been working on six movies and a TV series.
