Veteran actor Robin Williams' daughter Zelda says she wrote 12 scripts in the aftermath of her father's suicide.

The "Mrs Doubtfire" actor committed suicide in August 2014, and 27-year-old Zelda in her efforts to embrace her life ended up being extremely productive, reported Female First.

Asked by Chelsea Handler on her talk show "Chelsea" if there had been any sort of "silver lining", Zelda said, "I just kept going, 'Well, OK. Today I'm going to wake up and love what I do. And then tomorrow I'm going to wake up and be happy and love what I do. And then the next day.' Because that's all you can do."
 

Zelda, however, said people did not understand how she was grieving.

"For a while no one would let me do anything. I think there's, like, that reaction of like, 'Oh! Are you OK?' And if you are OK, it's like, 'What's wrong?'

"So for a while I was left to my own devices and a lot of great stuff came out of that.
