Paul Walker's daughter shares heartbreaking tribute on anniversary of his tragic death

Meadow Walker has shared a touching tribute to her late dad Paul Walker on the ninth anniversary of his tragic death.

The Fast and Furious star was just 40 years old when he was involved in a fatal car accident on November 30, 2013. The incident also claimed the life of the driver and Paul's friend Roger Rodas.

Paul's 24-year-old daughter took to Instagram on Wednesday to mark the anniversary, as she shared a throwback photo taken when she was a child.

In the sweet black-and-white snap, Paul was seen teaching a young Meadow how to bowl as the father-daughter duo smiled for the camera.

In the caption, Meadow - who was 15 when her father died - wrote: "9 years without you. I love you so much my angel."

The model also shared the picture to her Instagram Stories, adding a white dove emoji.

Fans offered their words of supports in the comments section of Meadow's picture, with one person writing: "Thinking of you both today. He loved you so much."

"9 years ago....it will always remain in our hearts because today a magnificent legend was lost," another penned.

A third person commented: "Thinking about you today xxx," while someone else wrote: "Sending lots of love."

Vin Diesel, who appeared alongside Paul in the Fast & Furious franchise, also paid tribute to his late co-star.

He took to to Instagram earlier to pay tribute to Paul and shared a throwback photo of them together.

Vin - who leads the Fast & Furious franchise as his character Dominic Toretto - wrote in the caption: "Nine years ... love you and miss you".

He included a photo of them together, which is understood to have been from the production of Fast & Furious 6, which was released months before Paul's death.

Vin is the godfather of Meadow and has remained close to her ever since his pal's tragic death.

He told Extra last year he feels "very protective" and said that she "takes good care" of him. He added: "To see her with my children is one of the most beautiful things."

At the time of his death, Paul had been working on Furious 7. His brothers Caleb Walker, now 45, and Cody Walker, now 34, stood in for him for his remaining scenes in the film.
