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.
Ironic death.
Ironic death.
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.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

WHere you just do it and don't glorify it?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Re: Ironic death.
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.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
