Paul Walker Dead: 15-Year Old Daughter Meadow "In Pieces" Following 'Fast and Furious' Actor's Sudden Death. Sources Say She Did Not Witness Car Crash
In the wake of her father's tragic car crash, Paul Walker's daughter Meadow is still reeling over his sudden death. Earlier reports indicated the 15-year old was waiting for the Fast and Furious actor to arrive to his Reach Out World Wide charity event, benefiting victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Rumored sources reported that Meadow heard the explosion but did not see the car crash. Upon arriving to the scene of the accident, family and friends reportedly kept Walker's daughter far enough away from the flame-engulfed car until details were confirmed.
"They kept his daughter off to the side, so she wouldn't know what was going on until they really knew what had happened." Walker's friend Jim Thorp said according to mirror.co.uk. Thorp revealed how Meadow "was in pieces" and added: "The saddest part was watching, Paul Walker's daughter break down."
However, Walker's representatives have since denied claims that Meadow witnessed the crash and that Walker attended the charity event alone.
"We want to clarify that Paul went to the event alone. Meadow was not at the charity event on Saturday and thankfully, did not witness the accident. Any claims stating otherwise are inaccurate," the statement read via Walker's Facebook page.
As usual, the rest of the Internet handled the aftermath with poor taste. Various Facebook pages and Twitter accounts claiming to belong to the actor's daughter circulated online.
"Sadly, there's also numerous people creating fake social media profiles claiming to be Meadow," the statement explains. "We would like everyone to know that Meadow does not currently have any public profiles and is not currently active on social media. We ask that her privacy be respected at this time."
The 40-year old actor was riding passenger with friend Roger Rodas when the speeding car crashed in Valencia, California. The red Porsche hit a tree causing the car to burst into flames, rendering both dead upon impact.
