Actor Paul Walker – best known for his role in 'The Fast and The Furious' franchise has reportedly been killed in a fiery car explosion in Southern California.

TMZ reports that the actor was in a Porsche when the driver somehow lost control and slammed into either a post or a tree before the car crashed and burst into flames.

It's understood that Walker and one other person who was travelling were killed in the crash.

Earlier reports suggested that Walker's death was a hoax.

He was best known for starring as Brian O'Conner in the wildly successful movie franchise 'Fast and The Furious'

Senior Vice-President at Colombia Tristar Pictures DeVon Fraklin tweeted: "Condolences to the family of Paul Walker. Our prayers are with him and his FF at this difficult time".

[Marc]

Tbh at that stage of the accident (fire etc) they can't do much to help him. Humans are just really curious and most people have camera phones now so they are gonna take snaps. It's sad and a bit sick, especially now they know it was a death and they still choose to upload them

This is the reaction from some of his co stars

Vin Diesel posted on his instagram account, " Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace."

The Rock wrote, “All my strength, love and faith to the Walker family during this heartbreaking time. We find our strength in his light. Love you brother.”

Ludacris also posted his reaction on Instagram. "Your humble spirit was felt from the start, wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark. We were like brothers & 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. RIP."

Tyrese posted the following on his Facebook:

[Jake.]

I first read this when I got in last night and at first I almost didn't believe it, such a shocking death... R.I.P :(

[Lee.]

Almost an ironic death when you think about it

I thought this was going to turn out to be a hoax, I saw Firewire tweet about it last night before I went to bed! :(!! I'm speechless, what a horrible, horrible way to die... R.I.P. Paul Walker...

[T*]

RIP :sad: I love FaTF as well, Poor guy. :(

[Drew.]

No ****ing way..

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Cannot believe it. I woke up, went on twitter, saw the trends and thought it was yet another hoax. Googled and BBC confirmed, even wiki is changed already.

Can't believe it. Another young, talented and gorgeous actor taken. Sucks man.

RIP PAUL WALKER.

OMG :bawling:

Wonder if they are going to put another cautionary notes in any future fast anf furious films, seeing how he died promoting fast driving doesn't seem like a good idea anymore. omg paul. He was the hottest blinde ever :bawling:

[arista]

No ****ing way..


yes he has sadly left us.

[Z]

That's a good point Ceecee... obviously the films are just fictional but the guy died in a car accident, seems a bit grim to include footage of him in the newest film...

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

^^Really does. I was never a HUGE fan of that franchise anyway. I only ever watched the first one and bits and bobs of the second one.

Did you see the strange tweet that shows TMZ reported this 2 days ago? :conf:

[Drew.]

Haven't been this shocked about a celeb passing away before, one of my favourite actors purely because of Fast And Furious, the guy is and will always be a legend, such **** news, R.I.P :(

[Samm]

omg :bawling: I am so shocked right now and also very sad I can't believe this. R.I.P

[Samm]

he was only 40

[thesheriff443]

the harsh reality. is a famous person being incredibly reckless!.
taking people out or letting people drive a high powered sports car on public streets will always end badly.
this could easily have been far worse if they hit another car or pedestrians.
if you want to raise money set up a track day so it can be properly organized or donate some money from your own fortune.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Roger Rodas, race car driver, was the driver.



Roger, you thought you were on a track, driving fast?

RIP TO you too.

I don't actually want to read the details. Tired f everyday waking up to some type of sad news.

[Brother Leon]

Just terrible really. Especially when he died raising money for Charity.

[Redway]

This is not a nice thread to wake up to. :sad:

It just doesn't feel real that hes gone, does anyone feel like that?

This..

I find this kinda annoying cause it differs famous and infamous, but yea

[Ninastar]

my god, people don't care more about him because he is famous. people 'care' more because they actually know who he is and like him.

if you care so much, tell me the other guys name without googling him.

yes it's sad he died too. of course it is! people are allowed to get upset over the death of a celebrity rather than the person driving the car

people know who he is cause he is famous lol people dont know him,
whats sad is the way its reported and the insensitive way they are doing it. where the other guys life is deemed less important.
mentioning the more famous person is understandable but the way they are doing it and going on and on. is wrong.

[fingers]

But the other guy was driving, so in effect he killed him!

Finally someones said what i'v been wanting to say to these thick cretins on twitter all day.. He's a legend and childhood hero for people that grew up watching his movies, the other guy nobody has a clue about and there's only so many ways we pay our respects to him.. its tragic he also had his life taken from him but myself and every other single person that watched his movies want to remember and pay our respects to Paul.

[Lee.]

This is so sad

I wish people would stop talking about what he looks like fgs, it's like you wouldn't care if he was ugly

When it comes to these recent sad stories, I wish people would stop telling others what it's ok or not ok to feel and say about it.

[Shaun]

But the other guy was driving, so in effect he killed him!

bit disrespectful...

[Vicky.]

Yeah, I'm sorry, its sad that the other person died too..but its different. We know nothing about this other guy..I guess it could be argued that we don't really know anything about Paul either, but a lot of people grew up with him on our screens, we know a lot more about him than the other person so obviously it will be sadder about him, if that makes sense.

Whingeing about this is a bit like getting bent out of shape about someone being sad that a friend of a friend died but not caring about the total stranger who died at the same time

[fingers]

bit disrespectful...

Not at all, it's simply the truth, he was the driver and for whatever reason, he crashed the car killing them both.

It's been so ****ing annoying these past few days on here when we are getting sniped at constantly for showing any compassion at all in any of these tragic threads.

If people don't care about the news that we are discussing or the people that have passed away that are being posted about then they can just piss off out the thread tbh.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

But the other guy was driving, so in effect he killed him!

Since the guy was a race car driver I wonder if he was being careless on the road. I read somewhere that they're questioning whether they were trying out tricks or something.

[Amy Jade]

I almost cried this morning when I saw he had passed away, when I was about 12 I was a huge fan of his and I remember asking for loads of films with him in for Christmas and I thought he was perfect. The all American boy next door. I loved his movie JoyRide so much.

R.I.P Paul - I feel so sorry for his family and friends

:(

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

He's not being dismissed. It seems to me reasonable that out of respect for the driver, they took time to find out a bit about him before talking about him. Paul we already knew about so makes sense there's more about him. Now stop looking for things to argue about and just ****ing let people be sad. :bawling:

There has to be more to be disclosed about that accident, the guy was a very experienced driver. The tree he hit appears to be on a central, raised, reservation. The apparent force that the car hit the tree with seems way out of line with the speed restrictions that are in force in America. No doubt more will be appearing in the next days.

Paul Walker dead: Roger Rodas' EIGHT-YEAR-OLD son bravely battled to save his dad from fireball wreck
1 Dec 2013 17:06
Actor and former racing driver friend killed instantly after Porsche Carrera GT smashes into tree and bursts into flames


Roger Rodas has been named as the driver

The eight-year-old son of Roger Rodas bravely tried to save his dad as flames engulfed the supercar following the crash which killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker.

The boy jumped a fence and ran over to the burning car in a desperate bid to free his trapped father.

Witness Jim Torp told the NY Daily News: "I ran over afterwards, I was trying to find Roger’s son.

"I found out his son had jumped the fence and gone over, he was trying to get his dad out.

"Paul Walker’s best friend was trying to get Paul out of the car while it was still on fire ... he was trying to save his friend ... there was nothing he could do."

Roger met actor Paul when they raced cars together at various events, and Rodas later became Paul's business partner and financial adviser in 2007.



Rodas, 38, was the CEO of Always Evolving, a car customisation shop, where Saturday's charity event was being held.

Paul leaves behind his 15-year-old daughter Meadow, and former pro racer Rodas leaves behind his wife and two children.

Tragic actor Paul was pictured just hours before his fatal final journey - alongside the car he died in.


The eerie photo shows the late 40-year-old alongside his friend's bright red Porsche GT just hours before his death.

Walker was in the passenger seat of a friend's red Porsche GT on his way to a charity event when the driver lost control.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department confirmed when officers arrived at the scene, they found the vehicle had gone up in flames and two people were pronounced dead.

Roger was the CEO of Always Evolving, a car customisation shop, where Saturday's charity event was being held.

County Coroner tells us ... the bodies of Paul and his friend/business partner Roger Rodas are currently unidentifiable and their autopsies will be delayed until later this week. We're told the coroner is waiting on both sets of dental records before proceeding. Rodas -- who was driving the Porsche yesterday -- was friends with Walker for nearly a decade ... and Roger has been credited with helping Paul start his race shop. The two also joined forces to create the "Reach Out World Wide" Foundation to help disaster relief in other countries -- and as we first reported ... the group was behind yesterday's fundraiser for typhoon relief in Santa Clarita. Paul's rep says Roger and Paul were leaving the event when they wrecked. Rodas was 38 years

so sad

[Kizzy]

I agree.. If any member feels it's wrong for the rest of is to feel sadness over these tragedies, they should shut their faces out of respect if nothing else. :bored:

Nobody at all has said anything like that lee to be fair.
This, the derailed train and the helicopter crash were hideous accidents. Nobody has or would snipe about the tragic nature of this or say it's wrong to feel sadness, to suggest otherwise is really unfair.
Reading about the efforts made to save them was really upsetting.

[Ammi]

..it still feels so unreal that it actually happened...just so very sad when someone so young and talented dies..:sad:...

According to TMZ, Walker's reps had the fake page removed. Meadow does not have any social media accounts. On Dec. 1, the Internet flooded with a "message" from Meadow... some people thought that it was too soon for a 15-year-old to post online -- and they were right.

"We're told Paul's people instantly sprung into action when they discovered the BS page ... and contacted Facebook to have it removed ... which they did (sic)," TMZ reports.

:/ bit morbid

[Shaun]

I guess not :/

so weird that people fake that... it's not sick, and i suppose the intentions are nice, but it's so... sad and a bit embarrassing that someone would do that

[Novo]

i thought he had a 2 year old daughter or at least thats what some woman who had interviewed him was saying on Sky last night

[Ammi]

..I'll remove it then...tragedies seem to often bring out the worst in people...

[King Gizzard]

Didn't think that Meadow facebook thing was real, it was all a bit 'upbeat' if that makes sense, the day afterwards, I doubt it

[curlsltd]

RIP Paul Walker <3 such a gorgeous man.

That Car had Engine Problems
reported on FoxNewsHD

[Ammi]

..wow, that would be a hefty lawsuit maybe, then..?...

[Z]

I'd say any car that blows up upon crashing it is probably very flawed. Obviously sometimes these things will happen in impact scenarios but generally it's a design flaw more than anything for that to happen with something like crashing into a tree, is it not?

[Drew.]

Have to feel for the guy having people around him shouting, recording and crowding him but its to be expected these days, Sad moment

[Kizzy]

It does seem to happen more in America, here people are cut from mangled wrecks, they don't usually combust. But maybe sportscars are different?

[GypsyGoth]

On Mythbusters they crash many a car, even testing the movie myth that cars blow up on impact, and they never do. They even dropped some off of cliffs and they just don't explode.

..yeah, you can't imagine what that feels like when you're overcome with emotions and there are people all around you trying to get attention...

[AnnieK]

There was a high speed crash near me a few months ago. Two guys stole an Audi and crashed at close to 90 miles and hour and the car exploded...it wrecked houses too so it does happen when crashed at high speeds into solid objects. They had to use dental records to identify them too... With the flammable fuel there has to be some risk of explosion...

[Kizzy]

Yep, must be a greater risk of the fuel tank rupturing in high impact collisions?

Paul Walker a deftones fan :worship: He get's better and better

[Nemo123]

Never heard of him. All I see is he was apparently a star, a photo of him before he got into the fatal car, and the burnt out wreck. They must have went out on the tear, probably risked others lives doing so, and died in a masiive crash and explosion.

Have no sympathy for them.

Who cares lol.

Someone that'snot familiar with his work wouldn't know him otherwise because he was quiet guy. No famous girlfriend to get Brad pitt status, no falling out of clubs etc...so you can be excused for not knowing him but don't act all mightier than thou cause you feel nothing. :nono:

[Drew.]

Can't believe some of the comments in this thread

Once again you demonstrate what a complete idiot you are.

Well done :thumbs:

[Nemo123]

What's the fuss about?

They obviously went at enormous speeds to cause a crash like that. They didn't care about anyone who they might have killed.

Not saying they got what they deserved, quite. But I don't know who they were, and their deaths are hardly tragedies.

[Glenn.]

Sure.

[michael21]

wtf :bawling::bawling::bawling: :bawling::bawling::bawling: :bawling::bawling::bawling:

[Glenn.]

The biggest one is the fact you have access to the internet.

[Lee.]

Of course there is; doesn't make this any less tragic

[Vanessa]

Omg! He was born the same year as me. :bawling:

OK. I don't share your opinion that this was a tragedy. It's just a stastistic to me. I nver heard of them both. They are just another RTA, and one which was apparently their fault entirely.

[Nemo123]

AND! To judge from the comments here, I must be the only one to refer to "them". There were 2 you know?

this is it in a nut shell!
two people with more money than brain cells.
the helicopter crash was a tragedy, this was an accident by two people being reckless with their own life and a total disregard for others.

[Benjamin]

I kind of have to agree. It's sad, but this was down to their own reckless actions by the sounds of it.

[Kizzy]

Looking at it logically if it had been two 'chavs' in a beat up fiesta there would be a different reaction.
He seemed a bit of a adrenaline junkie, and it seemed a self fulfilling prophecy this outcome.
I feel terrible for the families.

Hmm.. Looks like it may not have been their own fault they died

The people who pulled out their phones and started filming Tyrese when he was grieving were disgusting imo

[Nedusa]

Real life unfortunately for them is not like the movies , when a sports car hits an unmovable object like a lamppost or tree the consequences are catastrophic , ordinary people die usually quite badly mangled, they don't just have a small cut on their forehead like in the films.

Shame they died but you have to wonder with all his knowledge and experience of high speed stunts you would think he would have been an extra safe driver in the real non film world...!!!

[Lee.]

I'm not really sure, i think it was more of a cheer to try and celebrate the mans life and what hes done and also to what Vin was putting across rather than anything else unlike the video which Salman has posted which was disrespectful

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

they weren't racing, the car was faulty. Apologize.

I don't know man... The voyeuristic nature of the people gathered at the crash site is in bad taste.. you know.. and the video Salman posted was just ridiculous.. jfc... is it really worth being an insensitive a-hole just to get a 10 second crackly video on your phone.. Unbelievable.

We didn't know the guy.. most of us just know him as a famous guy on a screen.. some respect and space needs to be given to those who did know him and who are grieving and hurting right now.

[HD]

I know. It's very disturbing.

Someone looked like they were going to, but I think his security weren't allowing anyone to touch him.. which is understandable.

Such a waste of a hot guy. I hate when hot guys do stupid ****. If i looked like him, i'd just sit in my multimillion dollar malibu house ****ing hot dudes. Why was he racing cars? IDIOT.

lesson for hot people: stop doing stupid ****, don't go sky diving, don't race cars, don't try to climb everest, just be grateful for what you've got!

Westboro Baptist Church announced on Twitter that it plans to picket at the late actor Paul Walker's funeral because he promoted a "fast & furious" lifestyle."

James Wan confirms Fast & Furious 7 will be finished



Following the tragic death of Paul Walker last week, the future of the Fast and Furious franchise has been unknown as the cast and crew concentrated on grieving for their friend.

But now the director of the seventh instalment, James Wan, has confirmed that work will resume on the film, which the actor had been in the middle of filming along with co-stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson

Production on Fast & Furious 7 shut down following Walker's death in a car accident on 30th November, but asked by TMZ whether work will resume on the movie at some point, Wan replied: "Yes," though he didn't expand on a timeframe.

Asked how Walker's colleagues were coping, Wan added: "They're pretty sad… [and] pretty sombre. But, we are all dealing with it."

Last week, Universal released a statement confirming the pause in production, saying: "Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul’s immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers.

"At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise

"We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."

The studio also released a video paying tribute to Walker's work on the franchise

[Nedusa]

Just read this don't know if true or not.

I wish people would ignore this so called Baptist Church. In fact the Westboro Baptist Church is not part of any Baptist movement. It is a stand alone "church" created and run by one man Fred Phelps and his extended family.

It's main business is to picket funerals of people who are controversial , it preaches old style fire and brimstone Calvanism and is widely condemned as a sick publicity seeking cult. It has no more than 60 members so really should just be ignored....!!!!
