Nov 30 (Reuters) - Actor Paul Walker, best known for his roles in the Fast and the Furious action movies, died on Saturday in a car crash in Southern California, his publicist said. Walker, 40, who was in five of the six films about illegal street racing and heists, was a passenger in a friends car and was attending a charity event, according to a message linked to his Twitter account. Sadly, I must confirm that Paul did pass away this afternoon in a car accident, Ame Van Iden, Walkers publicist, said in an email. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department said in a statement that two people were killed in a car accident in Valencia, a community in the city of Santa Clarita, at about 3:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET). Deputies arriving at the scene found the vehicle engulfed in flames. The victims were pronounced dead at the scene, the statement said. The office did not provide the identities of the dead, and said the cause was under investigation. In the Fast and Furious pictures, the blond-haired, blue-eyed actor played Brian OConner, a law enforcement official.
