Though Vin Diesel is a veteran of major movie events, he rarely brings his kids with him.

On Thursday, the 53-year-old actor was joined by his three kids, Hania, 13, Vincent, 11, and Pauline, 6, at a Fans First event at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles. The event was to celebrate the newest "Fast & Furious" film, "F9: The Fast Saga," releasing on June 25.

Diesel's son, Vincent, will be playing young Dom in the upcoming film. Diesel's younger daughter, Pauline, was named after his late co-star, Paul Walker who died in 2013.

Diesel and Walker were not just close on-screen, but also off. In 2015, Diesel told TODAY Walker was "in the room" when Pauline arrived, and her name would be a way to make sure Walker would always be there.

"It felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world," he explained.

And speaking of family, Walker's daughter, Meadow, posted a photo with Diesel's kids on Instagram last year. The 22-year-old captioned the cute selfie "family forever."
