Walker was in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Los Angeles, for a charity event to benefit his organization Reach Out Worldwide when the fatal accident occurred.
He entered showbiz when he was just a toddler and his career took off when he landed a supporting role in 1999's "Varsity Blues."
"Brother I will miss you very much," franchise co-star Vin Diesel posted on Instagram. "I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace."
In the Fast & Furious films, Walker made his name playing undercover officer Brian O'Conner, who infiltrated a gang of illegal Californian street racers before switching allegiances to join them.
As well as those five movies, Walker's other credits included Flags of Our Fathers, Eight Below, Noel and the forthcoming Hurricane Katrina drama Hours.
Universal Pictures issued a statement saying Walker was "truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years".
"This loss is devastating to us, to everyone involved with the Fast & Furious films, and to countless fans," it said. "We send our deepest and most sincere condolences to Paul's family."
Walker began acting as a young boy when his mother, a model, took him to auditions for commercials.
He won roles in the TV series Touched by an Angel and The Young and the Restless before moving on to supporting roles in late 1990s films like with Varsity Blues and She's All That.
After the success of the first Fast & Furious film, Walker became the leading man for the second instalment when Vin Diesel dropped out.
Diesel later returned, however, and the six-film franchise has now earned an estimated $2.4bn (£1.5bn) at global box offices. The latest instalment, the sixth, was the most lucrative so far.
The seventh instalment began filming in September but has not been completed. It had been scheduled for release in July.
Here's are some photos of the accident
I really feel very sad about this even though I am not the one who crazy on Fast and Furious.How about the fans who crazy on this?They all should be very sad.
Rest In Peace Paul Walker.
