You knew him as one of the stars of Fast and Furious.
In fact, he was working on the latest Fast and Furious film at the time of his death earlier this afternoon. And sadly, it was a violent, fiery death.
We're talking about Paul Walker who died in a car crash north of Los Angeles. He was 40 years old.
Police say Walker was one of two people who were killed in a messy car crash in the community of Valencia. Witnesses told the Santa Clarita Valley Signal the actor was behind the wheels of a red Porsche. Photos from the scene show a pile of twisted metal and broken windows.
This evening the following statement was published on his Facebook page:
"It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences. -#TeamPW"
