One of the most heart-warming tributes to Robin Williams has come from the Walt Disney Company.
The actor featured in the studio's 1992 animated film Aladdin where he played the boisterous blue Genie.
In the wake of the news that the Oscar winner had tragically died, a touching graphic was created by Eric Goldberg, the supervising animator of the movie's fantasy character.
The heart-felt illustration shows the outline of Genie in the stars looking back down on the world.
There's even a big smile plastered across his face as he sits between the stars high above.
Alongside the image is a caption by the chairman and CEO of Walt Disney, Robert Iger.
It reads: "We're deeply saddened by the loss of Robin Williams, a wonderfully gifted man who touched our hearts and never failed to make us laugh.
"An incredible actor and a comedic genius, Robin will always be remembered for bringing some of the world's favorite characters to life, from his zany alien on ABC's Mork & Mindy to the irascible genie in Disney's Aladdin.
"He was a true Disney Legend, a beloved member of our family, and he will be sorely missed. We join Robin's friends and fans everywhere in mourning, and offer our thoughts and condolences to his family during this difficult time."
