Paul Walker left a lasting impact on his daughter, Meadow Walker.
The Fast and Furious actor—who passed away in Nov. 2013—would've celebrated his 50th birthday on Sept. 12. In honor of the milestone, Meadow penned a public message to her late dad.
"Happy birthday to my guardian angel," she wrote on Instagram alongside a throwback photo. "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."
In addition to her note, Meadow announced a special fundraiser for a cause close to Paul's heart.
"For my dad's 50th birthday, we've put this image on a limited edition @paulwalkerfdn t-shirt," she captioned a snap of Paul and his classic Fast and Furious T-shirt. "All proceeds fuel the @paulwalkerfdn."
Meadow's message comes just days after Paul's brother Cody Walker spoke to E! News about his sibling and how much he loved being a father to the now-24-year-old.
"Oh my gosh. He'd be so proud of her," Cody shared at the 2023 FuelFest Mid-Atlantic Sept. 9. "That was his pride and joy, his baby girl. He loved her to death. He only wanted what's best for her."
