As we previously reported, Paul Walker died in a fiery car crash in Santa Clarita, California on Saturday (November 30). The 40-year old actor was riding in the passenger seat of a Porsche GT driven by his friend Roger Rodas, who also died.
The two had just left a charity event for victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which recently devastated the Philippines. The event was sponsored by Paul and Roger's Reach Out Worldwide foundation.
The foundation was created to help areas hit by natural disasters.
“I’m a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, I should be there; I should be helping out," reads a quote from Paul on ROWW's website.
Walker's friends and employees rushed to the crash scene and attempted to extinguish the fire and free Paul from the wreckage.
“Him and his buddy, his brother in arms at heart just decided to joyride, take a spin. Something we all do. We’re all car enthusiasts. ... We’re all here driving, enjoying each other, and God must’ve needed help,” said Antonio Holmes. “We all heard from our location (the accident). It’s a little difficult to know what it was. Someone called it in and said it was a vehicle fire. We all ran around and jumped in cars and grabbed fire extinguishers and immediately went to the vehicle. It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped. Employees, friends of the shop. We tried. We tried. We went through fire extinguishers.”

Thousands of friends and fans, including his Fast and Furious co-stars Vin Diesel, Ludacris, Tyrese and The Rock, reacted to Paul's death by tweeting their condolences.
