On Friday, the stars of the "Fast and the Furious" franchise gathered at the red carpet premiere of "F9" in Hollywood, California. Paul Walker's 22-year-old daughter, Meadow, was also in attendance for the special event.
In 2013, Paul Walker died after he was involved in a single-car accident. He was 40 years old, and had starred in the first six of the nine "Fast and Furious" movies. As Insider's Kirsten Acuna recently reported, Paul's legacy is in good hands with director Justin Lin at the helm of the "Fast and Furious" franchise.
"It is something that I constantly think about," the "F9" director told Insider over Zoom when asked about honoring Walker and his character Brian O'Conner in the latest installment of the "Fast" saga.

"As we're moving into closing the saga, obviously there's a lot of different options," Lin said of how the next two sequels can respectfully address O'Conner.
"Fast and Furious" franchise star Vin Diesel is Meadow's godfather, and recently spoke with E! Online about whether or not Meadow could appear in the next "Fast and Furious" film.
"I would not count anything out," he said.
Earlier in June, Diesel shared an old photo of himself with Paul on Instagram and said that Meadow had sent it to him.
"Weeks away from the 'F9' release [...] @meadowwalker sends me this image and tells me how happy the photo makes her feel," Diesel wrote on Instagram. "Naturally, one gets filled with emotion, purpose and ultimately gratitude. Eternal brotherhood is a blessing beyond words. Hope to make you proud ... All love, Always."
"Fast 9" is in North American theaters on June 25. You can read our review here.
