Paul Walker‘s daughter emotionally reacted to Natalia Bryant‘s loving gesture as the daughter of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ legend paid tribute to the Fast & Furious actor ahead of the 11th anniversary of his death.
The 40-year-old, who starred as Brian O’Conner in the intense film series, was involved in a high-speed collision on November 30, 2013 after attending a charity event when Roger Rodas lost control of his car struck a concrete lamp post and two trees at speeds of around 93mph.
The Porsche Carrera GT was destroyed and both drivers were killed swiftly, with Rodas dying instantly whilst Walker died a few seconds later, but was unconscious at the time, before the car immolated.
It put the world into mourning as well as his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow, and her mother, Rebecca Soteros, and now Natalia Bryant has paid a loving tribute via social media as she relates to the pain of losing a father.
The daughter of the Lakers‘ ace posted a photo of her wearing a white t-shirt with Walker smiling at a gathering as she tagged his Paul Walker Foundation and Meadow, who responded by simply saying, “Love you @nataliabryant”.
Natalia, of course, lost Kobe in 2020 when his helicopter crashed into hills in the Calabasas region of California with the NBA champion being killed instantly, as well as his 13-year-old daughter Gigi.
Since then, Natalia has managed to go on to attend college and study but the 21-year-old also helps her mother parent Bianka (seven) and Capri Kobe (five) as the family tries to keep moving forwards after the tragedy.
What is the Paul Walker Foundation?
Established in 2015 by Meadow, the Paul Walker Foundation aims to remember the legacy of the actor and participates in philanthropy on his behalf, describing itself as, “dedicated to spontaneous acts of goodwill that empower young people and support the environment they live in.”
The charity has a particular focus on supporting marine biology students as the subject was one of her father’s passions as he went on to sit on the board of the Billfish Foundation in 2006 and appeared in National Geographic’s Expedition Great White.
