LOS ANGELES, Dec 1: Fans of tragic actor Paul Walker gathered at the fatal crash site to pay their respects to the ‘Fast & Furious star’, one year after his demise.
Walker, 40, lost his life when a Porsche he was a passenger in crashed into a pole in Valencia, California on November 30 last year.
Hundreds of fans ignored heavy rain to gather at the site and leave flowers and photos of their hero, reported TMZ online.
Walker’s ‘Fast & Furious’ co-stars Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson and members of his family were among those to offer up tributes through social media and news outlets, including Vin Diesel, who posted a touching photo of his daughter, Hania Riley, sitting on Walker’s lap on the set of one of the hit films.
Diesel wrote, “He was a part of so much in my life… long personal talks with my mother or babysitting the Alpha Angel (Diesel’s daughter)… He took a certain pride in being uncle Pablo… After all, we were filming a scene in Ff4 (Fast & Furious) the day she was born, and he being the only one I told, encouraged me to go in and cut the umbilicle cord.
“He was an important part of my transition into fatherhood… That healthy family member, with the most positive outlook on life…
“A year ago today… A year of mourning… And his absence still leaves me speechless. We miss you Pablo…” (PTI)
