Elinor Williams - Treat Williams' daughter - has taken to social media to pay tribute to her dad one month after his passing.

The Everwood and Hair actor passed away at the age of 71 on 12 June, 2023 as a result of a motorcycle accident in Dorset, Vermont.

Williams left behind wife Pam Van Sant, son Gill and daughter Elinor.

Elinor has since taken to Instagram a month after his passing to commemorate her father.

Sharing old images of her and her father when she was a little girl - such as one of her shaving his beard - Williams notes she has 'never experienced this kind of grief before' so it's 'hard to put [her] thoughts into words' but she'll 'try [her] best'.

The Instagram post continues: "I have been home with my family in Vermont for a month now, but it feels like just yesterday that I frantically got on a plane home after I got that phone call.

"It feels like he’s just away filming. However, I keep forgetting that he’s not coming home this time."

Williams reflects on the love she has for her father being a 'once-in-a-lifetime love'.

"A father's incomprehensible love for his daughter, and a daughter's boundless love and complete admiration for her father," she adds.

Addressing her dad, Williams tells him she loves him 'more than words could ever describe'.

"You have given me the best life imaginable, and I could not have ever dreamed of having a better father," she continues. "Thank you for loving me completely. I know you will walk with me by my side for eternity."

Her post concludes: "Until we find each other in the next life, Ellie Belly."

One Instagram user said: "I found this quote and thought of Treat…'There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.' I love you sm ellie, you know i am always always always here."

"We'’ve been thinking of you so much ellie and though i never got to meet him, you could just tell the amount of love you both shared for eachother!! he will forever and ever be with you and cheering you on and i’m sending so much love to you and your family," another wrote.

A third commented: "Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming.

"All we can do is learn to swim. Never easy losing someone. They say time heals grief but I don’t believe it. To lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches.

"Blessed to have met him and worked with him. He is deeply missed."
