Meadow Walker has paid tribute to her late father Paul Walker on what would have been his 49th birthday.

In 2013, the Fast and Furious actor died in a horror crash when he was a passenger alongside Roger Rodas - as their Porsche collided into a concrete lamp post and two trees before going up in flames.

Taking to Instagram on Monday (September 12), the 23-year-old model posted a sweet throwback image of her and the late actor, alongside clothing from the Paul Walker Foundation

"Happy birthday to my best friend and twin soul," she wrote in the caption. "I love you forever and miss you every day. New @paulwalkerfdn designs out today to celebrate you! Do good, be good."

Check out her post below:

Meadow was only 15 years old when the Joy Ride actor died at the age of 40. As Walker passed away in the middle of filming Fast 7, his brothers Cody and Caleb were hired to stand in for him for the rest of the film production.

His daughter - who he shared with Rebecca Soteros - often commemorates his memory on social media. Last year, she attended the premiere of F9, where Walker's costar, Vin Diesel, told E! News's Daily Pop about the possibility of Meadow appearing in the movies.

"I would not count anything out," Diesel, who plays Dominic Toretto in the franchise, said. "Let me just - without giving you all of the secrets of Fast 10, let's just say nothing's ruled out."

The model also celebrated her dad's birthday by posting another childhood photo with him on her Instagram Story, in which she's seen sitting on his shoulders in matching white tees and denim jeans.

Last October, the model got married to Louis Thornton-Allan on a beach in the Dominican Republic. The intimate ceremony was attended by her godfather Diesel, her late father's costar Jordana Brewster, and other family and friends.

Diesel has shared that he feels "very protective" of Meadow, telling Extra last year that "she's the first person on Father's Day to wish me Happy Father's Day".

He said that Meadow has remained close with his family over the years, saying: "To see her with my children is one of the most beautiful things."

"There are moments when I see her playing with [my daughter] Pauline and it hits me so deep 'cause I can only imagine what my brother sees when he sees that," he added.
