"Thanks for the outpouring of support. I can't express how much it means to Debbie & I and Autumn’s mother, Denise, at such a difficult time," Snyder wrote.

"To support or seek help, please know there are places such as http://afsp.org and http://JEDfoundation.org that are doing great work," he added.

Snyder revealed that his daughter, Autumn, committed suicide in March at the age of 20 during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.

"In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was the way through it," he said. "The demands of this job are pretty intense. It is all consuming. And in the last two months I've come to the realization …I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I'm having a hard time."

Joss Whedon will direct any additional necessary scenes before Justice League hits theaters on Nov. 17.
