Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson shared thoughts of his late friend Paul Walker on the one year anniversary of Walker's death, November 30.

Gibson also asked fans to pray for the family and friends of Walker, as they struggle with the loss of their loved one.

"A celebration of Paul William Walker will be echoed around the world," he began. "In this life one would hope to be this 'effective' 1 year ago today God called an angel home early.... I miss my brother I miss my friend and I miss OUR STAR!!!!!

"Physically gone but forever alive in our minds, hearts and spirit.... What was once tears of pain and shock are now tears of JOY celebrating all that you stood for.....

"Everyone worldwide please take 5 mins out of your day to send live, prayers and energy to Paul's family his daughter Meadow and immediate circle today will be a tough day for us.... To this day his arm is still around my neck with love and protection..... Rest in heaven...."

Walker was tragically killed when the car he was riding in careened off a road in Valencia, California. The Porsche Carrera GT hit a light pole and two trees while traveling approximately 100 mph before bursting into flames. The driver of the vehicle, Roger Rodas, also died.

"Furious 7" was still being filmed at the time of Walker's death, and the actor's brothers, Cody and Caleb, stepped in to help finish the film because of their striking resemblance to Paul. Producers also used Cody and Caleb's voice for some of Paul's lines.

After finishing principal shooting in July, Gibson gave thanks for making it through the darkest times.

"Through prayers and determination and moving forward inspired by my heart Paul Walker we got through," he wrote. "The BEST CAST AND CREW IN THE WORLD.... The fans and supporters around the world... We LOVE YOU....."

"Furious 7" is expected to be released on April 3, 2015.
