Post by Vin Diesel.

If you have 20 minutes to spare (and don't mind getting emotional), then you must watch this.

Vin Diesel hinted that he has something special planned for his 60 million Facebook fans that have helped him cope with the loss of his best friend Paul Walker. "You have always been so supportive, especially in these past two months… So, I wanted to share something personal that I worked on through the New Year, in honor of my brother Pablo… Paul," Diesel wrote on Facebook yesterday.

Sure enough, the Fast and Furious star posted an epic 18 and a half minutes worth of footage on the social media website, full of his interactions with Walker over the years. Diesel captioned the "Vinbook" clip, "A glimpse... of Dom and Brian… off screen."

The video features multiple clips from Walker and Diesel's time together, whether it be promoting a film from their car-racing franchise or just hanging out. At the end, the words, "Miss you..." flash across the screen.

Vin has been very open about his mourning of the Walker's death following the actor's fiery car crash in late November.

"When I heard, I immediately flew back to California, and went directly from the plane to his mother's house...," Diesel wrote on Facebook shortly after the tragedy occurred. "I thought they needed my strength, but realized when I got there and broke down before his family, that it was I who needed theirs."

He continued, "His mother hugged me and said I am so sorry... I said sorry? You're the mother who lost a son?... She said yes, but you lost your other half..."

Diesel also attended a private memorial service for Walker in Santa Clarita, Calif., and made an impromptu speech in Valencia using a sheriff's car's microphone.

Calling the 40-year-old star his "brother," Vin thanked attendees for their support in light of the celeb's passing. "At this hard time his family gets to see all of you show the love that you've shown Paul. It's going to stay with me forever," Diesel said. "I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for coming down here and showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciate him."

Paul Walker's official cause of death was released by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office Friday.

According to the documents obtained by TMZ, Walker died from "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries." The report went on to say that the Porsche he and Roger Rodas crashed in was going approximately 100 mph.

No traces of alcohol or drugs were found in either body.

Walker had "multiple fractures throughout his body, including his jaw, collarbone and left upper arm."

The report added that Walker's body was laying in a "pugilistic stance," as if he was bracing for impact.

There was also "scant soot in Walker's trachea," which suggests that he may have taken a breath after the crash.

The coroner found that there was 14 percent carbon monoxide saturation in Walker's blood stream, while Rodas had 10 percent. The normal level is 2 percent.

And while the report shed some more light into the fallen actor's death, producers are working around the clock to decide Walker's character's fate in Fast and the Furious 7.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, top executives have decided on how the main role, Brian O'Connor, will leave the successful films.

Apparently, O'Connor will retire and not be killed off of the action-packed franchise.

In another turn of events for the regarding Walker, two men accused with stealing from the crash site appeared in a Los Angeles County courtroom and agreed to return for a Feb. 25 preliminary hearing.

Jameson Witty and Anthony Janow were charged last month with felony grant theft and two misdemeanors counts each for destroying evidence and resisting, delaying or obstructing a peace officer.

Deeper Than Movies: Paul Walker Had One Of The Most Impressive Car Collections We’ve Ever Seen (Video)

A while back, Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire, a website dedicated to cars, had the chance to tour Paul Walker‘s car collection. Fortunately, it was all caught on camera for everyone to enjoy.

At the time of the filming, The Smoking Tire says that Walker asked for his identity to not be unveiled. We’re guessing he just didn’t want to come off as a show-off. Super humble guy!

The tour of the garage was instead said to be for AE Performance, a team dedicated to car performance, which Paul Walker was on with good friend Roger Rodas, who also passed away on November 30, 2013. The car collection belonged to them both.

The “Fast And The Furious” star, who played Brian O’Connor, will always be remembered by his fans, friends and family. His ridiculous car collection will always be remembered, as well. The collection features Toyota Supras, Ferraris, Porsches, an insane amount of Mustangs and plenty more. Check out the video above!

Is Justin Bieber About To Replace Paul Walker In ‘The Fast And The Furious 7′?

Director of “The Fast And The Furious,” James Wan, has no intention of abandoning the seventh installment despite the death of the films’ leading man. At this point, there are no details about how the “Fast and Furious” series will conclude, but it is certainly going to require major re-writes.

The newest RUMOR circulating the web is that Justin Bieber will be put in the latest of the “Fast And Furious” films. Jesus Christ, this better not be true or F&F fans will most likely boycott the film. It’s also unclear if Bieber would replace PaulWalker‘s character, Brian O’Connor, or if something else would worked out entirely.

Carbuzz is telling us that, “One thing is clear though, Bieber has some important supporters, with Ludacris having already voiced his approval of the idea of putting the 19-year-old Canadian in the film.”

This is definitely going to stir up some major controversy. There’s no way members of Paul Walker’s family or Vin Diesel are going to let this decision be made without their involvement. As of now, this is a just a rumor, but it’s not too surprising that Universal is shopping for options.

As more unfolds, we will be sure to update you!

9 Things You Didn’t Know About Paul Walker That Will Restore Your Faith In Hollywood

By now everyone has heard of the recent tragedy involving Paul Walker and his close friend Roger Rodas. The two were involved in a car explosion after leaving a charity event they created together over this past weekend.

After someone passes away, it’s customary for people to share their experiences with that person. Ever since Walker’s passing, numerous people have come forward to share their stories and kind words.

So today, in honor of this incredible individual, we are going to take a look at what others had to say about his life. We are also going to look at some of the most famous statements Walker has ever given. This will help us to gain insight into the young actor’s mind and what truly made him stand apart from the rest.

He Was Charitable

Paul Walker and Roger Rodas set up a charity together called “Reach Out Worldwide” to help people harmed by natural disasters. In 2010, they both flew to Chile with their charity to assist those injured in the 8.8 magnitude earthquake. During the same year, Paul was extremely involved in relief efforts to help survivors of the tragic 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

He Was A Family Man

“I think my mom put it best. She said, ‘Little girls soften their daddy’s hearts.’” Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughterMeadow Rain. She recently moved from Hawaii to California to be closer to her father so they could work on their relationship.

In an interview with GQ, Walker revealed: “She keeps encouraging me to do all this stuff. I thought at this point in my life I would need to be home with her, but she wants me to keep acting so she can travel around the world with me. Would that be so bad?”

He Was Career Driven

“There’s a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.” Literally, he was career driven. Walker loved every aspect of being part of “The Fast And Furious” saga and has even gone so far as to say, “I wish I could be behind the wheel for every stunt.” He didn’t come from money, but instead worked as hard as possible to earn himself a name.

He Did Not Let Fame Define Him

“I’m not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.” Not all celebrities have the ability to remain level headed when fame is thrust upon them. Paul Walker’s co-stars and the industry people who worked with him have all come forward to vouch for how amazing of a guy he was.

He Anonymously Bought A Couple An Engagement Ring

Walker was in a jewelry store when he overheard a couple discussing an engagement ring. The woman absolutely loved the $10K ring, but her fiancé, who had just returned from Iraq, told her he could not afford it. The couple left the store with no ring in hand, but received a call shortly after from an employee. They were told someone anonymously purchased their dream ring.

He Had A “Go Big Or Go Home” Mentality

“I live by ‘Go big or go home.’ That’s with everything. It’s like either commit and go for it or don’t do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That’s what I live by. That’s how I like it.” He worked hard for what he achieved and he never took anything for granted. He stayed humble and appreciated his good fortune because he was the one who created it for himself.

He Was Multifaceted

“I’m into being a dad, that’s where my focus is most of the time. I’m an actor that’s my job, but it’s not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.” Many people are unaware that Walker was picked to play Superman for Warner Brothers and he turned down the role. He did not want that to be his entire life. He wanted to pursue everything life had to offer. Acting was just a job for him, it wasn’t who he was. He was a family man and a surfer; he was not a fame-obsessed Hollywood star.

He Wasn’t Afraid Of Anything

“I’m not afraid of anything. That’s just the way I am.” Nothing scared this guy, he understood life was about taking risks because that’s where the greatest rewards are achieved.

He Kept His Life Private

Unlike many Hollywood actors and actresses, Paul Walker’s name was never making headlines for anything out of the norm. He was all business when he needed to be and a family man off the screen. He didn’t publicize his relationships and many people didn’t even know he had a daughter until the news of his death was announced. He wasn’t an attention seeker, he was just a straight up hardworking man who wanted to make the most out of his life.

R.I.P. Paul Walker, you will be missed.

Remembering Paul Walker: Fast and Furious Star Was "So Happy" Hours Before His Tragic Death

Facebook

Paul Walker spent his final hours on Saturday, Nov. 30, doing what he loved: helping others by attending a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide.

Bill Townsend, who was at the event and took this photograph with the late actor yesterday afternoon, spoke to E! News exclusively following the tragic car accident.

"He had been so happy," Townsend said of the Fast and Furious star's mood that day. "He was there at the event and had managed to raise thousands and so many people had brought toys."

"So many people had come out to support the charity and he was with his friends," Townsend added. "It was a great day for him. He was so overwhelmed to have so much support."

Townsend explained that Walker's organization meant "everything" to him, and he put "everything he could" into his charity. Walker also expressed to Townsend that he wanted to aid people in disaster situations, especially in the Philippines following the devastating typhoon last month.

Townsend left at around 3 p.m., and as he was driving home, he saw the fiery scene.

Instagram

"I saw the fire engines and saw the smoke and I had a horrible feeling that something terrible had happened," Townsend said. "But I never would have thought it was Paul."

Townsend described the location of the crash as an "industrial road."

"It wasn't particularly bumpy," Townsend said. "It was quite wide."

Townsend remembered his friend as a man who "loved his family and he loved cars."

"He was a fantastic man," Townsend said.

Walker had business ties with Always Evolving Performance Motors, and the Reach Out Worldwide event was held at their shop.

Newton Wimer, an engineer with the car company, expressed his condolences about the death of Walker and the driver of the vehicle, Roger Rodas. Rodas was also the CEO of Always Evolving.

"They were two fun loving men who cared tremendously about other people," Wimer told E! News exclusively shortly after the crash. "They left behind a lot of people who they loved and supported with their time and any way they could."

Wimer explained that the two men went one time around the block and "didn't come back."

"Two men who gave so much were taken today," Wimer said. "They were gone on impact."

The Los Angeles County Sheriff confirmed on Saturday evening that "speed was a factor" in the fatal collision.

A source close to Walker's family tells E! News that his loved ones are "devastated" and "in total shock."

"It is the most heartbreaking day," the source revealed. "None of us know what happened, the police are investigating and will find out what happened."

The source said that someone tried to pull the two men out of the vehicle, but they were unable to do so.

"Roger and Paul were very close friends," the source said. "They were two men who loved their families more than anything. They put that before all their other business. They had the same outlook, that's why they got along so well."

"They were true friends who shared the same goals and interests," the source added.

Walker was described as an "amazing father" to daughter Meadow Walker, and he also "loved his mother more than anything in this world."

"Family came first to him," the source said. "He was an incredibly kind man. He gave so much to charity. He wasn't like all those other Hollywood types."

A worker from Always Evolving had to break the sad news to his mother, the source admitted.

"Paul adored his mother, he was incredibly close to her," the source said.
