    Former child star Lindsay Lohan also paid tribute to the "kind" actor.

    She wrote: "Mr. Williams visited me the first day of filming The Parent Trap. I will never forget his kindness. What an enormous loss. My condolences.(sic)"

    Steve Carrell simply wrote: "Robin Williams made the world a little bit better. RIP."

    Robin's 'Good Will Hunting' actress Minnie Driver said she was heartbroken by the tragic news.

    She said: "My Heart's broken. Robin was a beautiful, kind soul. Can't bear that he's gone. So incredibly sorry for his family. (sic)"

    His 'Waiting For Godot' co-star Steve Martin was "stunned".

    He tweeted: "I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent, acting partner, genuine soul."

    Evan Rachel Wood simply posted a picture of the Genie from Aladdin - a character voiced by Robin - and wrote: "Genie. You're Free".

    Ellen DeGeneres was another actress to put up a picture in honour of the 'Insomnia' actor, writing alongside the image of him being interviewed on her show: "I can't believe the news about Robin Williams. He gave so much to so many people. I'm heartbroken."

    Zac Efron remembered his "hero".

    He wrote: "@robinwilliams will always be my hero. We lost a beautiful soul today. RIP (sic)"

    The stars of 'Girls' had a minute's silence on set to honour the star.

    Lena Dunham tweeted: "Just shared a moment of silence on the set for Robin Williams, a man who brought so much laughter, joy and healing to so many."

    Robin was last seen alive on Sunday night (10.08.14) before his body was discovered shortly before a call to the emergency services was made at 11.55am on Monday.

    An investigation into the exact cause of death is currently underway and a forensic examination is scheduled to take place today (12.08.14) with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted.
