At the time of Dunn's death, Knoxville, as well as other "Jacka--" stars, released statements of mourning.

"Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn," said Knoxville. "My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan, I love you buddy."

Meanwhile, the parents of the passenger killed with Dunn in the car accident are suing Dunn's estate for reckless driving.

Zachary Hartwell was riding with Dunn, who was driving his Porsche at high speeds while under the influence of alcohol, according to TMZ. Hartwell was a production assistant on the film "Jacka-- Number Two."
