Jordana Brewster played Walker’s love interest in the franchise and shared his picture on Instagram.

She captioned the post: “5 years without you today. I miss you. I love you.”

Walker was killed when a Porsche Carrera GT he was riding in spun out of control, struck three trees and burst into flames on a street in Valencia, California, in November 2013.

Following Walker’s death during filming of Furious 7, producers digitally superimposed his face on to his brothers’ performances after they stepped in to help complete the film.

The movie’s ending features a modified scene in which Walker’s character drives off into the sunset.

His character is still alive in the Fast And The Furious universe and was mentioned twice in 2017’s The Fate Of The Furious.
