"Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker is set to receive a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as part of the Walk of Fame Class of 2023.

According to the Walk of Fame's official announcement video, only one posthumous Star is awarded per year but Walker is one of two in the Movie category and one of three overall this year.

Other posthumous honourees include Academy Award-nominated actress Juanita Moore and singer Jenni Rivera.

Walker passed away in a car crash in November 2013 while he was still in the middle of filming "Furious 7", which lead the movie to undergo major changes, with Walker's brothers were even enlisted to help as a stand-in for his character Brian so that they could complete the movie and honor Walker by completing his story onscreen.

The late actor's co-stars have paid numerous tributes to him over the years and his co-star Vin Diesel played a poignant role at his daughter's wedding last year.

Others in the franchise who has a Star on the Walk of Fame include Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Kurt Russell, Charlize Theron, and the "2 Fast 2 Furious" director John Singleton.

Ludacris, who starred alongside Walker in four movies, will also receive a Star next year.
