Robin Williams has died at the age of 63.  The actor was reportedly found dead in his northern California home earlier today.  TMZ reports, Williams was found unresponsive in his home from an apparent suicide.  

His publicist released a statement to THR, saying:

Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.

His wife, Susan Schneider, also released this heartbreaking statement:

This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.

Williams is survived by his wife and three children.
