Some one who played a role in the Fast and Furious series of movies, which glorify fast and dangerous driving, dies in a car crash.

Fans, friends and fellow stars have been paying tribute to US actor Paul Walker, who has died in a car crash.

Walker was best-known for playing Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious films.

The 40-year-old died on Saturday when a Porsche being driven by a friend, who also died, crashed near Los Angeles.

Walker's co-star Jordana Brewster said: "Paul was pure light. I cannot believe he is gone." Fellow Fast & Furious actor Vin Diesel wrote that "heaven has gained a new angel".

"Brother, I will miss you very much," Diesel said on Twitter.

In a second message, he said: "My heart is hurting so sad. Paul Walker was a good man. RIP my friend... Sorry to the Walker family."

Walker starred in five of the six movies in the popular Fast & Furious franchise and had started filming the seventh.

The accident happened while Walker was attending an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide.

The death(s) here may be tragic. But for a "Fast and Furious" actor, a fatal accident in a Porsche where "speed may have been a factor" is not ironic. Here, let Rachael and Eliza explain irony to you:



It would have been ironic if, for example, they had been traveling at very slow speed and demonstrating the use of elaborate safety precautions -- which caused the crash.
