This is the last picture of actor Paul Walker - climbing into a red Porshe just thirty minutes before his death in a tragic car accident.
Paul, 40, is seen getting into the Porsche GT, driven by former race car driver Roger Rodas, Walker's friend and financial adviser before the devastating crash in Santa Clarita, California.
Eye witnesses then saw the car spin out of control, hit a telegraph pole and burst into flames.
Tragic details have emerged from the smash, with reports Rodas' eight-year-old son tried heroically to pull his father from the wreckage - despite the blaze.
"His son had jumped the fence and gone over, he was trying to get his dad out," eyewitness Jim Torp told Radar.
"There was nothing he could do," Torp said.
Earlier a fan posted a smiling snap of the Fast & Furious star, which has been liked more than 2,000 times.
Bill Townsend posted the photo on Facebook and told how he spent time talking to the late 40-year-old about cars.
"I was just with him no more than 2 or 3 hours ago. Talking cars, he was so happy seeing all his friends get together to look at the cars,” wrote Townsend.
"I hope it wasn't him in the wreck, but if it was, he would have passed doing something he loved, which is driving cars. The world lost an angel in Paul."
