The Fast & Furious actor has apparently died in a car crash in LA.

Paul Walker, the much-loved star who for 12 years headlined the Fast and Furious franchise, has died in a car crash aged 40.

The actor was travelling as a passenger in a new Porsche when his friend who was driving - who has been described as an "experienced driver" - lost control of the vehicle and collided with a street light, and then a tree.

The LA County Sheriff's department has confirmed that two people died in a collision in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, at 3:30pm on Saturday, but Walker's death was confirmed by his representatives on his official Facebook page, and then by his publicist, Ame Van Iden.

RIP Paul Walker and also to the other 100,000+ people that probably died on this planet yesterday.

it may be too soon, but i think that porsche may have been 2 fast 2 furious. the irony of it all.

on a serious note, it does suck dying at the hand of someone elses's (probably) irresponsible behavior behind the wheel. i don't think i'm cool with someone driving wrecklessly.

Hahahah, I wonder if he was Tokyo Drifting? Definitely bad taste/too soon for sure, but personally I find comfort in joking about death. When I die I hope people make jokes about it.

The thing with irresponsible driving is the passenger can always tell them to calm the fuck down or stop the car and it's your responsibility to do so. I wouldn't even get in a car if they were known for being a maniac. My uncle was killed instantly in a head on collision by a dickhead showing off in his car to try impress his girl friends.

Car crash deaths are so common nowadays; my favorite DJ died in a car wreck as well.  I worry this is how I'll eventually get taken out.

Tragic news

RIP Paul

Sad. Forty years old is way too young to die.

My favorite movie he was in was Running Scared. I'm going to try and watch that again soon.

RIP.

I was going to recommend people check this out. Easily his best and a really under-appreciated film.

How ironic: In the Fast and the Furious he is an expert driver and in reality he dies in a car crash.
By the way: How did he manage to destroy the car like that?

That's why you should stick to a slower and bulky ford or jeep or something that will not wrap around a pole you crash into.

Probably by driving at the speed of sound.

RIP Paul

You were an uplifting onscreen presence and by all accounts a good guy

[Haidang1796]

Probably the best advice ever :
"Don't do what you see on tv in real life?"

Also , everybody who is whining here, pooor Paul , what if some innocent people dies also in the accident?
He and his friend were speeding , and at this point I can only say 2 idiots died.

sometimes you're driving with a friend, and he's a stupid nut.. if he ends up killing you, is it really your fault? if i had a friend who did that, i wouldn't drive around with him.. but you're still at risk the first time you know your friend is an irresponsible driver.

Twice i got out of a friend car and called a cab.
Once because when he picked me up i realized he did drink (quite a few) , second when another was speeding like an idiot in the city and didn't give a fuck about me saying to slow down.
Just because it i his car and he my friend it doesn't mean i'm glued to that seat!
