This age of social media has made the reaction to Paul Walker’s death almost strangely instantaneous. The 40-year-old actor was killed in a car accident Saturday afternoon. That night shocked reactions were heard from friends and former co-stars such as Vin Diesel, Ludacris, Tyrese and Joshua Jackson among others. Some are now finally able to speak about the “Fast and Furious” franchise star and noted humanitarian.
Jordana Brewster, who played Walker’s onscreen love interest in four “Fast” movies, had a touching reaction Sunday morning.
Paul was pure light. I cannot believe he is gone.

In a business that barely requires it, @RealPaulWalker was relentlessly selfless, genuine & trying to be better every day. Love you brother
