Paul Walker, the Fast and Furious star killed in a car crash, had considered taking time out from acting to spend more time with his teenage daughter, his father has said.
Paul Walker Sr fought back tears as he paid tribute to his son, who was killed with his friend Roger Rodas when the red Porsche they were travelling in slammed into a lamp post in Valencia near Los Angeles.
"I'm just … glad that every time I saw him, I told him I loved him. And he would say the same thing to me," Mr Walker Sr told CBS in Los Angeles.
He quoted his son as saying about his daughter, Meadow: "'I want to take a hiatus, she's just 15 and I don't have much more time to be with her.'
"And then boom, he got another movie. He would say, 'I don't know what to do.'"
The red Porsche crashed into a light pole and burst into flames The fiery crash took place close to a fundraiser organised by the 40-year-old's Reach Out Worldwide foundation to help victims of the Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Walker had just left the event in the Porsche, and Mr Rodas was driving.
Meadow was at the charity event but she was kept away from the scene, a witness said.
Walker starred in all but one of the Fast and Furious movies "They kept his daughter off to the side, so she wouldn't know what was going on until they really knew what had happened," Jim Torp said, adding the girl "was in pieces".
Mr Rodas' eight-year-old son rushed to the site crash site in an attempt to free his father, Mr Torp added.
"I ran over afterwards, I was trying to find Roger's son," he said.
"I found out his son had jumped the fence and gone over, he was trying to get his dad out."
A makeshift memorial is erected at the site of the crash One of Walker's friends also tried to rush to the scene to help the trapped men but he was stopped by emergency officials, according to Mr Torp.
Walker fans erected a makeshift memorial at the site, leaving flowers, candles and memorabilia from the Fast and Furious movies.
Co-star Tyrese Gibson broke down when he visited the memorial, reportedly taking a piece of the wreckage left at the scene in memory of his friend.
Fast and Furious Co-star Tyrese Gibson paid tribute to Walker "Paul is the heartbeat of this franchise and we're gonna see to it that his energy and presence lives on forever," he later posted on his Instagram account.
Investigators said speed was a factor in Saturday's crash, although it will take time to establish how fast the car was actually going.
They are trying to determine what caused the Porsche to go out of control, including whether the driver was distracted or something in the road prompted him to swerve.
Both bodies in the car were badly burned and will be identified through dental records.
The downed light pole had a speed limit sign of 45mph.
Walker had completed the seven instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise, which currently is slated for release in July.
He also left behind two completed films. He stars in the upcoming Hurricane Katrina drama Hours, which Lionsgate's Pantelion Films is to release December 13.
He also stars in Brick Mansions, a remake of the French action film District B13 that Relativity plans to release next year.
