Aubrianna Atwell was one of the closest people to Paul Walker—but who is she?
The world remains devastated by the untimely death of Paul Walker—a dedicated father, humble celebrity, and humanitarian and philanthropist who aided people around the world through the charity he founded, Reach Out Worldwide.
While fans mourn, his ex-girlfriend-turned-best-friend Aubrianna Atwell (along with current girlfriend Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell and Rebecca McBrain, the mother of his child) was hit particularly hard by the unfortunate news. The two met and dated 12 years ago and long since split, but remained close friends. They even talked on the phone weekly. Here's who Atwell is—and why she's so crushed by the loss of the Fast And The Furious star.
1. She has beauty and brains.
Atwell is a former model turned real estate broker.
2. She lost her father mere days before Walker died.
"These were the two loves of my life and the most important men in my life," Atwell said upon Walker's death. Walker had promised to be with Atwell at her father's memorial service on Dec. 8.
