Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow Walker, posted a tribute Friday for her father on his birthday. She posted a cute family picture of her father with her toddler self on her Instagram page. The photo was captioned "Happy Birthday, I love You".

The day would have been the actor's 41st birthday had fate not cruelly snatched him away from his loved ones and fans. The actor of 'Fast and the Furious' had a tragic and sudden death in November when the Porsche he was riding spun out of control, hit a post and burst into flames. The accident instantly killed the actor and one of his friends.

The actor and his daughter shared a very close relationship, as per the Mirror. Meadow, who has recently turned 15, moved in with her father in his Los Angeles home just few weeks before the tragedy. Her decision to live with her father immensely pleased Walker, who shared his happiness on Twitter just a couple of weeks before he died.

"I'm glad I had her at 25 because at 40 and 15, we're matching up sweet. It's just working. It's perfect," Walker tweeted. In addition, the actor reportedly left his £15 million estate solely to his daughter.

Walker started his career with few guest shows on TV. He became a household name when he landed the role of Brian O'Conner in the 'Fast and the Furious' movie series. The movie 'Fast and the Furious 7' was still in its production stage and was halted half way due to his sudden demise. Similar with his onscreen portrayals, Walker was an avid fan of speed and a car enthusiast.

Later, his younger brothers Cody and Caleb completed his part in the movie as body doubles. The movie is slated to be released by April next year. Cody also paid tribute to Walker on his Facebook fan page.

Apart from enjoying an immense fan following, the actor also shared great rapport with all his co-actors including Tyrese Gibson and Vin Diesel. Soon after his demise, Diesel uploaded a pic of him and Walker in his social media account. This photo received so much hits that it was included in Guinness Book of World Records for maximum 'likes', garnering a whooping number of 6.8 million.
