Rapper Ludacris shared a message online, writing: “Happy Bday Big Bro. Your Legacy Will Always Be Alive & Your Presence Felt Everywhere.”

Co-star in The Fast And The Furious franchise Tyrese Gibson also wrote on Instagram: “I miss you everyday bro with my whole heart! You were truly a friend and brother in deed.

“Your laughter was infectious once you started laughing it would change the mood of any room or anyone that was around.

“Just wanted to check in bro cause I know you’re somewhere up there listening and watching —Happy birthday bro.”

Walker played Brian O’Conner in The Fast And The Furious films, and was set to star in Furious 77 at the time of his death.
