Paul Walker’s Daughter Meadow Honors Late ‘Fast & Furious’ Star on 12th Anniversary of His Death
Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow is paying tribute to her dad on the 12th anniversary of his death.
“12 years without you… I love you forever,” Meadow, 27, captioned a November 30 Instagram slideshow featuring childhood photos of herself and the Fast & Furious star hanging out in a kitchen, holding a plate of cupcakes with birthday candles. In one of the photos, the father and daughter share an adorable kiss.
On November 30, 2013, Paul died at age 40, following a car crash in Santa Clarita, California. A report from the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office stated that Paul was the passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT, which was being driven at an “unsafe speed.” The driver had lost control, crashed into the sidewalk, trees, and a light post.
According to the report, Walker died from “combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries.” The driver died as well.
In The Fast and the Furious films, which depict the street racing culture, Paul played FBI agent Brian O’Conner. Other actors from the franchise include Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
On September 12, 2025 — which would have been the late actor’s 52nd birthday — Meadow shared a black-and-white photo on Instagram featuring her as a little girl sitting on Paul’s lap.
“Happy birthday daddy,” she captioned the post. “I love you endlessly and miss you every day.”
The actress starred in the 2023 film Fast X, playing a flight attendant alongside her late dad’s former costars from the Fast & Furious films. Meadow is also the founder and CEO of The Paul Walker Foundation, which according to its website, “drives scholarships, conservation, and the causes Paul cared about.”
