Robin Williams’ death was instant global news. The entertainment world, friends, and fans responded to his death through social and other media outlets.

His daughter Zelda Williams responded to his death by stating that the “world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence”.
U.S. President Barack Obama said of Williams: “He was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.”
