Late actor Paul Walker's daughter Meadow honored what would have been her father's 50th birthday in a poignant Instagram post.
Paul Walker tragically died in a car crash in 2013. He was 40 years old at the time.
In honor of his memory and his birthday, which was on Tuesday, September 12, Meadow paid tribute to her dad on Instagram.
“Happy birthday to my guardian angel,” wrote the 24-year-old model and actress.
“Thank you for your love, guidance, friendship, sunshine and for raising me to see all of the beauty in the world."
"You are the most kind, humble, generous and caring soul I know."
"You taught me at a young age to always treat everyone with respect, to do good and to take care of our planet."
"I love you and miss you every day.”
The Hollywood scion's post was accompanied by a black-and-white photo of her as a young girl being held by her loving father.
Her post sparked so much love.

Meadow paid tribute to her dad previously back in May when she shared a preview of her cameo in the latest Fast & Furious film, Fast X.
She appeared as a flight attendant who helps Jakob Toretto (John Cena) and Brian Marcos (Leo Abelo Perry)–who are hiding out from the Agency–escape from a mid-air flight.
"The first fast was released when I was one year old!" she wrote on Instagram
The accompanying behind-the-scenes photo of her walking down a plane aisle in a flight attendant's uniform was taken from a monitor on set.
She continued expressing her enthusiasm for joining the Fast and the Furious family.
"I grew up on set watching my father, Vin, Jordana, Michelle, Chris and more on the monitors."
"Thanks to my dad, I was born into the fast family. I can’t believe now I get to be up there too."
"With those who have been around to see me grow up."
She added:
"I am so blessed to be able to honor my father’s legacy and share this with him forever x. I love you all so much."
Vin Diesel, who plays Dominic Toretto in the movie franchise, is Meadow's godfather.
He commented on her post with a praying emoji.

At the time of Walker's death as a passenger in a single-vehicle collision on November 30, 2013, Meadow, his only daughter, was 15 years old.
Walker also had not completed filming Furious 7.
The film was released posthumously in 2015 after several rewrites and with Walker's brothers, Cody and Caleb, serving as stand-ins.
