A rumour suggesting that Paul Walker’s bereaved daughter watched him die has been slammed as nothing more than cruel speculation.
Meadow Walker, 15, was reported by several US gossip sites including HollywoodLife to have been on the scene of the crash, after a sick hoaxer set up a fake Facebook profile in her name.

Walker’s publicist Ame Van Iden has now set the record straight, writing in a statement: ”
It is unfortunate that claims are being made to the media that Paul’s daughter Meadow was at the event on Saturday when the accident occurred.
“We want to clarify that Paul went to the event alone. Meadow was not at the charity event on Saturday and thankfully, did not witness the accident. Any claims stating otherwise are inaccurate.”
She added:
“Sadly, there’s also numerous people creating fake social media profiles claiming to be Meadow. We would like everyone to know that Meadow does not currently have any public profiles and is not currently active on social media. We ask that her privacy be respected at this time.”
Paul, a star of the Fast And Furious movies, was tragically killed alongside a friend when a car he was in crashed and burst into flames on Saturday.
