Fans have paid tribute to late actor and comedian since sad clips emerged

Deleted scenes from classic family film Mrs Doubtfire, starring legendary actor Robin Williams, have surfaced online - prompting tributes from fans around the world.

Viewers were reminded of the onscreen prowess of the Oscar winning actor and comedian who was found dead at his home in California after taking his life at the age of 63.

One of the two poignant scenes features Daniel Hillard - the character played by Williams - arriving late to watch daughter Lydia - played by Lisa Jakub - partake in a spelling competition.

Conflict: Daniel bickers with his ex-wife Miranda as he feels he is being pushed out of the family

After finding he has not been saved a seat, Daniel bickers with his ex-wife Miranda - played by Sally Field - as he feels he is being pushed out of the family.

Their argument results in Lydia becoming distracted and failing to spell her word correctly. The scene appears to outline the affect the divorce has on the children.

The latter scene is perhaps more emotional and takes place at the family home, presumably just after Daniel has been ousted as being Mrs Doubtfire.

He argues with Miranda while the three children listen from upstairs before heading down together as the row escalates.

The breaking point is reached when the parents verbally compete for the affection of their children.

Daniel screams: 'I'm their father, they love me,' and Miranda responds: 'I'm their mother, they love me.' Lydia kills the argument dead however by shouting: 'I hate you both.'

Since emerging online yesterday the footage has been viewed more than 300,000 times - a figure that is no doubt going to continue to rise.

Commenting of the clip, one viewer wrote: 'Very powerful and very real. Divorced families go through this and a lot worse.
