Mara Wilson and Lisa Jakub, who played Robin Williams' onscreen daughters in the film "Mrs. Doubtfire," have paid tribute to the late actor via separate blog posts, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

To Wilson, Williams was her "favorite teacher," and Jakub described the actor as "an incredibly kind human being."

Though both girls admit to not speaking to Williams in a while, they praised the actor for being a significant part of their childhood.

In her blog entitled "Mara Wilson Writes Stuff," the now 27-year-old writer explained that she is still trying to "process it all" in regards to Williams' recent death. She also revealed that she turned down a few news outlets that attempted to interview her about Williams.

"Everybody grieves in their own way. When I heard about Robin's death, I was shocked, confused angry, regretful, and above all, sad. All I wanted was to talk to my family and friends and cry. A few news outlets asked if I would be willing to talk about him on the air, and while I usually like interviews, I knew I wasn't in a good place to do that. I still (a whole three days later) don't want to do any. It's too soon, and I need my own time to process it all. I will, however, be sharing some of my memories about him on this blog sometime soon," Wilson wrote.

The former child star then concluded her blog entry by praising Williams for being "as warm and talented as everyone says, and a joy to be around."

Jakub paid tribute to Williams by recalling a specific memory when Williams helped her through a tough time in school while shooting "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Jakub, who is now 35-years-old, explained that at the time of filming "Mrs. Doubtfire," she was 14, and because of her rigorous filming schedule, her school decided to kick her out.

"When I was 14 years old, I went on location to film Mrs. Doubtfire for five months, and my high school was not happy. My job meant an increased workload for teachers, and they were not equipped to handle a 'non-traditional' student. So, during filming, they kicked me out," Jakub wrote.

Jakub then explain that after her school kicked her out, it was Williams who tried to get her back into her school.

"It's devastating, at 14, to have your formal education terminated. I felt like a freak and a reject. When I arrived at work the next day, Robin noticed that I was upset and asked me what was wrong. I explained what had happened, and the next day, he handed me a letter that he wrote to my school. He explained that I was just trying to continue my education while pursuing my career. He wrote embarrassingly kind things about my character and my work and requested that they reconsider and allow me to return to my classes," she said.

Jakub later revealed that though Williams' letter was not successful in helping her return to school, she was thankful that Williams had her back.

"Robin stood up for me. He was in my corner. I was only 14, but I had already seen that I was in an industry that was full of back-stabbing. And it was entirely clear that Robin had my back," she wrote.
