Walker, 40,  had been at an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide before deciding to take the car out for a drive with his friend. The fundraiser, to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan, was taking place in a race car shop near to the scene of the crash. 

Guests rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers but the fireball had already engulfed the car. 

The star's representatives and official Facebook page confirmed his death. The alleged driver of the car that was involved in a crash that killed Paul Walker has been identified as former race car driver Roger Rodas. Roger was the CEO of the company Always Evolving, a car customisation shop and was Walker's business partner.

May their souls rest in peace...amen!
