Zak and Zelda Williams

Zak and Zelda Williams

Robin Williams' son Zak says that the late star's family are still attempting to adapt to "the new normal" following the death of his father.

The actor died from asphyxia due to hanging at his home in August earlier this year, and Zak admits he and half-siblings Zelda and Cody are steadily adjusting to life without Robin.

Speaking in public for the first time since the tragic event, he said to Us Weekly: "We're doing OK. We're acclimating to the new normal. Everything is step by step.

"Personally, my wife and I are focusing on doing a lot of good. She runs the San Francisco office of Human Rights Watch, and we're working with them to do good in the world."

Zak and his wife are now attempting to encourage youngsters to be "generous and giving and kind".

He added: "Dad had almost a childlike love, and he shared that love with people, with everyone.

"And that ability to love, and that ability to be generous and giving and kind is something we would want to share with future generations."

His comments come after it was reported he and his two half-siblings inherited $50 million following the actor's suicide.

Robin's will is also to have said that his third wife Susan Schneider will be cared for under terms of a prenuptial agreement signed before their wedding in October 2011.

Instructions were also left about how his fortune should be distributed by the Robin Williams Trust, now being run by a trustee, in the official document dated January 31, 2011.
