Ten years since the untimely passing of Paul Walker (1973-2013), his daughter Meadow (25) paid tribute to her late father on social media with a heartwarming video. "Ten years gone... Forever in my heart," she writes beneath the short clip on Instagram.
The video shows young Meadow startling her father when he opens a door, causing him to fall onto a bed in laughter. The two embrace as they laugh it off. "Happy birthday!" Meadow exclaims. "You scared the crap out of me!" their father retorts, pulling her into a playful hug.
Friends of the late actor also paid their respects. Jordana Brewster (43), who starred alongside Walker in the Fast & Furious franchise, shared a series of photos on Instagram featuring Walker, sometimes alone and other times with Brewster and other co-stars.
British actress Nathalie Emmanuel (34), a series regular since the seventh installment, also paid her respects with several heart emojis, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo with Walker, Ludacris (46), and Michelle Rodriguez (45) on her Instagram stories. "Can't believe it's been 10 years. Rest in peace, Paul. You are truly missed."
Walker's younger brother Cody (35) shared a different perspective. "I try to celebrate his birthday instead of marking his death," he told People magazine. In September, the deceased's birthday, Cody and the family would always get in touch.
