Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda, 32, demands fans STOP ‘spamming’ her Jamie Costa’s ‘weird’ viral impression of late dad

ROBIN Williams daughter is begging fans of her late father to stop forwarding her a viral video featuring a spot-on performance of the troubled comedian. The five-minute video simply titled Robin Test Footage Scene features actor Jamie Costa dressed and looking like Robin in 1982, while on the set of Mork & Mindy.

On Twitter, Zelda, 32, asked fans to stop sharing it with her: ...Guys, I'm only saying this because I don't think it'll stop until I acknowledge it… please, stop sending me the 'test footage'. ...I've seen it. Jamie is SUPER talented, this isn't against him, but y'all spamming me an impression of my late Dad on one of his saddest days is weird.... John passed away in March 1982 from a drug overdose at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The "Saturday Night Live" comedian was 33 at the time of his death.

MIXED EMOTIONS Reaction to Zelda's plea online was surprisingly mixed. One person sided with her, writing: ...So tactless & cruel in my eyes... I lost my parents last year, I can't imagine dealing with people like that, especially when they're trying to justify it with ...having good intentions'. Others tried to explain the sender's intentions: ...They do it for the same reason as one might say ...Look at this old picture I have of your father and me. Do you want it?' They don't know how it'll affect you, and the intent is not to hurt you. ...We're all different. I lost my mom, 2 sisters, and my brother in the last 7 yrs. My father years before that, and I LOVE it when people show me old pics of them, or imitate things they did when they used to hang with them.... Still some even argued amongst themselves. One defender of the clip explained: ...It is a tribute. While your father was a very upbeat and eccentric actor he also like all of us had his own moments when life pressed him down. ...I think this clip was trying to capture just that.... But a tweeter replied: ...A tribute that she would like people to stop sending/tagging her on. ...Hell, I'm not even family and I couldn't get through the first 15 seconds. Regardless- her request is a boundary that we should respect.... PLEA FOR HELP Robin's loss of life was a tragic finale to a battle against illness which plagued him throughout his brilliant career and, in the end, became too hard to bear. After his death, Robin's widow Susan Schneider said:  ...Robin was losing his mind and he was aware of it...He kept saying, ...I just want to reboot my brain.'...
