Billy Connolly has described Robin Williams as his "hero" after the actor was found dead in his home in Tiburon, California.
Connolly - a close friend of the 63-year-old actor and comedian, whose death is believed to be caused by suicide via asphyxiation - said that Williams had an unparalleled talent.
Reflecting on his relationship with the 'Good Will Hunting' star, Connolly said: "Robin was both my friend and my hero, a unique talent and a kind and generous man; the world will be a much poorer place without him.
"Robin was one of the most uniquely brilliant and complicated comic artists the world has ever known. As a performer, he navigated a dangerous high wire at every single moment - with no safety net."
Williams' 'Good Will Hunting' co-star Minnie Driver also paid tribute to the popular actor, saying: "I never met anyone who loved making people laugh more than Robin."
Williams won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the 1997 film - which also starred Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Robin Williams had a trust in place for his children.
The 'Insomnia' actor - who was found dead in an apparent suicide yesterday (11.08.14) - set up a document in 2009 to look after the finances of his three kids, 31-year-old Zachary, 25-year-old Zelda and 22-year-old Cody but ensured they only received a monetary legacy in stages, and it wasn't dependent on his death.
According to website TMZ, when each of the children - who are from Robin's first two marriages - turned 21, they received a third of their settlement, and four years later were given half of what was left over.
So far, only Zachary has received his full share because the final installment is only handed over when the children turned 30.
It is unclear how much money is in the trust, but the website reports there is a "significant" amount outside of it and the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star's third wife, Susan Schneider, will receive a large chunk.
Last year, the 'Hook' actor gave an interview in which he claimed he was selling his $35 million estate as his two divorces had left him on the brink of bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Zelda has posted a touching tribute to her father on Instagram.
She posted a quote from 'The Little Prince' writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which read: "You - you alone have the stars as no one else has them ... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars are laughing, when you look at the sky at night. You - only you - will have stars that can laugh."
She added underneath the quotation: "I love you. I miss you. I'll try to keep looking up."

Kerry Katona's fiancé George Kay suffered the equivalent of three heart attacks after consuming a near-fatal cocktail of drugs.
The 34-year-old hunk was detained under the Mental Health Act last month after taking a concoction of steroids, sleeping pills and alcohol which resulted in him running around their Oxfordshire home shouting that someone was trying to kill him and feeling like he was being "fried from the inside".
George, who took steroids for six weeks in a bid to get the perfect body for his and Kerry's wedding, said: "I've suffered the equivalent of three heart attacks. The brain is so delicate and the doctors said it was a chemical imbalance.
"As far as I was concerned, I was just going to the gym. The only thing I remember is this weird feeling of being fried from the inside, the heat was incredible.
"I also felt like I was being watched, then the next thing I knew I was in the ambulance."
Kerry - who was unaware her fiancé was taking steroids - watched on as six police officers fought to pin George down during the episode, and the furious star admits part of her "hates" him and wants to "beat the s**t" out of him for putting her through such a stressful time.
When asked how she is feeling, the 33-year-old star - who suffers from bipolar disorder - told OK! magazine: "Tired, drained and exhausted; I feel like I've had the life sucked out of me.
"George's meltdown terrified me - I hate him a bit for putting me through it. I've never been so scared in my whole life and I'm worried sick. I want to beat the s**t out of him for putting me through this.
"I didn't realise how serious steroid use is, or the effect they can have. It's put huge pressure on his heart and I nearly lost him - he swears he'll never touch steroids again.
"One minute I'm emotional and so upset at the thought of losing him and the next I'm so f***ing angry at him for doing it. I just want everything back to normal and to make sure he's OK."
Kerry has children Molly 13, Lilly Sue, 11, Heidi, seven, and six-year-old Max from previous relationships as well as three-month-old daughter Dylan-George with George, but she insists she isn't concerned about him suffering a similar episode with her kids around.

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly refusing to film their reality show after a trio of thefts.
The sisters are said to be reluctant to shoot scenes for the 10th series of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' until someone is caught following the latest incident when Kourtney and Scott Disick had more than $4,000 in cash stolen from the bedroom of their Hamptons property last month.
Family sources have told TMZ that the trio believe the thefts, which include $250,000 in jewellery stolen from Khloe's house and $50,000 from Kourtney's home, could be an inside job.
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney are due to start filming the next series of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' in October and have enlisted extra security staff in an attempt to catch the thief.
Following the latest incident, Scott - who has kids Mason, four, and Penelope, two with Kourtney - complained to Southampton Town Police on the afternoon of July 8 and alleged that between July 1-4, an "unknown person did unlawfully remove" his and Kourtney's $4,000 cash "from an attaché case that was stored in a bedroom".
The case is currently being classified as a felony offence, third-degree grand larceny, and is still being investigated, Detective Michael Smith told RadarOnline.com.
