There's at least one report that Fast And Furious star Paul Walker died after a single car accident earlier today in Santa Clarita, California.
It seems the speculation on the crash first started on TFW2005 forums:
So I work in Santa Clarita at an automotive performance shop and a good customer just came from Paul's shop, AE (Always Evolving) where they were having a car show. It seems Paul went for a ride in a guys Porsche and they ended up around a phone pole, the car burst onto flames and rumour has it Paul is dead. I hope he got it wrong but he insists it was Paul. I'm reluctant to post this being just hearsay, but the guy who informed us is a wealthy car enthusiast that just pulled up in his Maserati and nothing to gain from a lie, and has video on his phone of the burning car. If it does turn out to be true, damn... RIP Paul.
According to TMZ, who say they have sources on the scene, Walker was giving rides in his new "Porsche GT" when the incident occurred. The fiery accident reportedly happened during one of those test spins.

According to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal:
Spectators gathered at the scene, and several said the driver was the star of "The Fast and the Furious" series of films. One witness at the scene said he tried to put the fire out and recognized Walker inside the vehicle.
The crash completely destroyed the red Porsche Carrera GT that was involved. An assistant to Mr. Walker's manager could neither confirm nor deny the report.
The Carrera GT appears to be from Always Evolving, a performance shop that Mr. Walker is financially involved in. This is the car earlier today on their Facebook page:
The LA County Sheriff's department has confirmed to Jalopnik that two people were DoA in a collision earlier today, but haven't released names. This is their official release:
