Paul Walker, the co-star of the enormously successful movie franchise “The Fast and the Furious” was killed in an auto accident in Southern California.
At the time of the incident the news began to spread fast. According to TMZ:
The accident happened in Santa Clarita — north of Los Angeles — and according to multiple sources connected to Paul … the actor was in a Porsche when the driver somehow lost control and slammed into a post or a tree … and then the car burst into flames.
Several of our sources — some who are still at the scene of the accident — tell us Paul and another person in the car were killed. Law enforcement is still on the scene, and we’re told the L.A. County Coroner’s Office is on the way.
Walker was killed in a fiery car crash after leaving a charity event Saturday afternoon. Walker was the passenger in the vehicle, and both he and the driver were killed after the car lost control and crashed.
Walker, who was born in Glendale, California, was 40 years old.
Sources say Walker was in Santa Clarita for a car show to support the Philippines typhoon relief effort, and had been taking friends out for rides in his new Porsche GT. The accident happened during one of those test spins.
You know that if the world at large is trying to absorb the shock of the sudden death of actor Paul Walkerof the “The Fast and the Furious” fame, what must it be like for his co-stars?
We’ll probably never fully know, but here are their immediate thoughts.
Here’s what Vin Diesel posted to his Instagram page:
“Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace.”
Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson:
“All my strength, love & faith to the Walker family during this heartbreaking time,” Johnson tweeted. “We find our strength … in his light. Love you brother.”
Tyrese took to Instagram to share this message:
“My heart is hurting so bad. No one can make me believe this is real. Father God, I pray that you send clarity over this because I just don’t understand. My heart hurts. It’s broken. No one can convince me that this is real.”
Tyrese also appealed for prayer for Walker’s daughter and his family.
Rapper/actor Ludacris who also starred with Walker in the racing franchise added this rhyming caption via Instagram:
“Your humble spirit was felt from the start, wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark, we were like brothers and our birthdays are only 1 day apart, now You will forever hold a place in all of our hearts @paulwalker legacy will live on forever. R.I.P.”
It’s being reported that filming was currently underway for “Fast 7,” with Walker of course reprising his role as Brian O’Conner. It’ll be interesting to see how the studio, Universal, moves forward with the project.
