Model Meadow Walker has shared a poignant social media tribute to her late father, Fast & Furious star Paul Walker, marking twelve years since his tragic death.
A Daughter's Loving Tribute
On Sunday, the 27-year-old posted three cherished childhood photographs featuring tender moments with her father. The collection showed a young Meadow sitting on a kitchen counter wearing a white T-shirt and pink pants, while Paul sported a blue T-shirt and yellow trucker hat.
In one heartwarming image, Paul presented his toddler-aged daughter with a plate of cupcakes as they shared an adorable interaction. Another precious picture captured the father-daughter duo leaning in for a kiss, perfectly illustrating their close bond.
Meadow accompanied the images with a simple yet powerful caption: '12 years without you… I love you forever.'
Continuing Legacy and Fast & Furious Return
Meadow maintains strong connections with her father's former colleagues, including Vin Diesel and Ludacris from the Fast & Furious franchise. Earlier this year, Vin Diesel, 58, sparked significant attention by announcing that Paul Walker's character will appear in the final Fast & Furious film, scheduled for April 2027 release.
During an appearance at Fuel Fest in Pomona, California, Diesel revealed his three conditions for the franchise finale: 'Bring the franchise back to L.A., return to the car culture and street racing, and reunite Dom and Brian O'Conner.'
While the exact method for Paul Walker's return remains unspecified, it will likely involve similar techniques used in 2015's Furious 7, where Paul's brothers Cody and Caleb served as stand-ins with Paul's face digitally added.
Fan Reactions and Regular Tributes
The announcement of Paul Walker's character return generated mixed reactions among fans. Some expressed dismay on social media, with one user describing the move as 'turning grief into a cash grab' while another urged producers to 'let Paul Walker's character stay retired.'
Meadow, who is Paul Walker's only child, regularly honours her father's memory online. This past Father's Day, she posted another snapshot with the message: 'Happy Father's Day to my guardian angel. Thank you for your love, guidance, and for truly being the most incredible dad and my best friend.'
In September, on what would have been his 52nd birthday, she shared a black and white image of herself sitting on her father's lap outdoors, adding: 'Happy birthday daddy. I love you endlessly and miss you every day.'
Paul Walker tragically died in a car crash in 2013, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be celebrated by family, friends, and fans worldwide.
