On the 11th anniversary of Paul Walker’s death, his daughter Meadow Walker shared a heartbreaking tribute to the late Fast & Furious actor.
Paul Walker‘s daughter is celebrating her late dad’s life by sharing fresh memories of their precious time together.
Meadow Walker posted a heartbreaking tribute to the Fast & Furious actor Nov. 30, the 11th anniversary of his death at age 40.
“11 years without you,” the 26-year-old, Paul’s only child, wrote on her Instagram. “I miss you everyday. I love you so much.”
Meadow, who had turned 15 just weeks before Paul died in a car crash in 2013, shared photos of her dad holding her when she was a baby.
She also posted a pic of him swimming with a pig in the ocean, a 2001 The Fast and the Furious promotional image showing him with costars Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster and Johnny Strong, plus shots of herself from earlier this year on a studio backlot.
Meadow captioned her post, “Easter (1999), Pops in the Bahamas, in front of your old office on the universal lot (2024), fast (2001), goofballs.”
The model, whose mother is Paul’s ex Rebecca Soteros, has often honored her father on social media.
Meadow has also honored Paul by joining his costars to red carpet premieres of Fast & Furious films, most recently in 2023, at a screening of Fast X in Rome. In addition, the actor’s daughter made a cameo in the film, which marked her acting debut.
