Whether you knew him as Mrs. Doubtfire, John Keating, or even the Genie, he probably touched your life in a special way.
Scott Weinger, who voiced Aladdin in the film, took to Twitter to post an incredible tribute to the legendary comedian.

Farewell to my childhood hero and my Genie. The world won't be the same without him.

Absolutely heartbreaking.
However, he’s not the only Aladdin-related tribute coming in.
The chairman and CEO of Disney, Robert A. Iger, released a remarkable statement about Robin’s influence on the world.
He said:
‘We├óΓé¼Γäóre 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├óΓé¼Γäós favorite characters to life, from his zany alien on ABC├óΓé¼Γäós Mork & Mindy to the irascible genie in Disney├óΓé¼Γäós Aladdin.
He was a true Disney Legend, a beloved member of our family, and he will be sorely missed. We join Robin├óΓé¼Γäós friends and fans everywhere in mourning, and offer our thoughts and condolences to his family during this difficult time.’
Ugh, where are our tissues?? We’ve got to wipe our eyes from that…
May Robin rest in peace now that his mental health suffering is over.
