As friends and family continue to pay their respects and gather at the site of Paul Walker’s fatal car accident to mourn and pay tribute, one of Walker’s “Fast and Furious” co-stars and close friends, Vin Diesel, showed up and spoke to the crowd over a police loudspeaker.
“If my brother were here right now and saw all the love that you’re bringing here. If he could see for himself that all of you have showed up to show my brother love at this hard time. That his family gets to see all of you show the love that you’ve shown Paul. It’s going to stay with me forever. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for coming down here and showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciate him. It’s going to stay with me for ever.”
Diesel later posted the following statement on his Facebook page, reflecting on Walker’s passing:
