The actor had just left a charity event he had arranged to help the Phillipines on Saturday, when he got into the passenger seat of his new Porsche GT driven by his friend.  The friend lost control of the car and it hit a tree and instantly burst into flames.

Friends expressed their grief over the weekend via twitter and IG.
