Beyoncé Knowles has paid tribute to a former colleague, who died in a car accident involving Salma Hayek's brother.
The 'XO' hitmaker posted a touching message about Grammy Award-winning art director Ian Cuttler Sala, after he was identified as the 43-year-old passenger killed in Sami Hayek's 2006 Ford GT when he crashed in Bel Air in Los Angeles on Sunday (24.02.14).
The 32-year-old singer wrote: "Rest in Peace Ian Cuttler. Ian was a Grammy Award winning art director and photographer who will be greatly missed. His memorable work includes album covers for 'Destiny Fulfilled' and 'Dangerously in Love.'"
Sami, 40, lost control of his vehicle when he was driving on Sunset Boulevard.
Ian, who worked with many other stars in the past and won a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Art Direction for 'Johnny Cash: The Legend,' was pronounced dead at the scene by the Los Angeles Fire Department, while Sami was taken to hospital after sustaining several broken ribs and a laceration to his head.
A 20-year-old truck driver that was also involved in the crash suffered a broken foot.
Law enforcement officers believe Sami lost control after swerving to avoid an on-coming vehicle, but the investigation is still continuing and no arrests have been made.
Salma, 47, is yet to comment on the incident.

Justin Bieber's bodyguard was reportedly arrested on Tuesday (25.02.14).
The 19-year-old star's security guard was taken into police custody for questioning after being accused of stealing a photographer's camera while the singer was visiting an amusement park in Atlanta, Georgia.
A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ.com that one of the 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker's minders got into an argument with the paparazzo and grabbed his camera before jumping into the star's Escalade and instructing their driver to flee the scene.
Police officers later returned the camera to the photographer after locating it inside the vehicle that was parked outside the Canadian star's new rental home in the city.
Officers are still deciding whether to arrest the driver in connection with the incident.
Meanwhile, Justin's on/off companion Chantal Jeffries, who was with him when he was arrested in Miami last month, has hit back at allegations she is a "gold digger" and only using him for fame.
She told E! News: "If anything you could say I'm a goal digger because I have my own goals and I'm focused on that.
"I have my own eyebrow line. I designed the products and I picked everything that I wanted, I put all my own money into it. I make money from that, I make my own money from modelling, I go to school, so I don't need really anybody else.
"I'm a strong independent woman so I don't need a guy."
The model also insisted she had never seen Justin use drugs and their relationship isn't romantic.
She said: "Justin's fun. He's cool, he's a good person."
The 'Baby' hitmaker is scheduled to appear in court in Florida on March 3 after being charged with driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired licence and resisting arrest last month.

Scarlett Johansson doesn't see herself as a role model.
'The Avengers' actress hinted she quit her role as an ambassador for Oxfam after eight years last month because she didn't want her image to be controlled by a "global platform."
The 29-year-old star told Dazed magazine: "I don't see myself as being a role model; I never wanted to step into those shoes."
Scarlett sparked controversy when she chose to step away from the anti-poverty organisation, which opposes all trade from Israeli settlements, in favour of continuing her relationship with SodaStream, which has a factory in the country's West Bank, and appeared in a Super Bowl ad to promote the fizzy drink firm last month.
Although the actress didn't directly discuss her fallout with the charity, she said: "How could I wake up every day and be a normal person if I was completely aware that my image was being manipulated on a global platform. How could I sleep?
"You have to have peace of mind. You've got to be able to protect those things. How else could you exist? You'd go crazy, anybody would go crazy."
The 'Her' star's spokesperson released a statement following her split from Oxfam that said: "Scarlett Johansson has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years.
"She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam."

Kim Kardashian insists her upcoming wedding will be "super small" and intimate.
The 33-year-old reality TV star is set to marry Kanye West in Paris in May and, despite reports it will be an extravagant affair, she admits friends and family members are being axed from their guest list every day.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty said: "We're having a super, super, just small, intimate...as we're going along we're realising that we just want it to be more small and intimate than people are imagining and thinking."
Kim, who has an eight-month-old daughter North, is also rethinking the number of children she wants to have.
She told 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest' on Tuesday (25.02.14): "I don't think I can do more than three, tops. That would be my absolute tops, tops, tops. I even contemplate, should North just be an only child? But then I remember all the Christmases, and all of the fun experiences I had and I might just have to tough it out."
She added: "I am loving life right now. My daughter is the cutest thing ever. I know every parent says that about their own kid, but...I'm loving being a mom. I never thought I would say that.
"I went into this so scared, so scared of every last thing pregnancy meant and motherhood and the responsibility. I always wanted kids, but for some reason when I got pregnant I was so scared. Everyone tells you about having a kid and how it will change your life and it's the greatest experience and you'll love it; it's that times 100."

Beyoncé Knowles' half-brother's mother isn't angry the singer has never met him.
The 32-year-old star's father Matthew Knowles has a four-year-old son, Nixon, with his ex-girlfriend Alexsandra Wright, who claims he is still behind on his child support payments and never spends time with the little boy, but doesn't think their issues have anything to do with the 'Pretty Hurts' hitmaker.
The former 'Scrubs' actress, who previously claimed Matthew asked her to hand Nixon over to Beyoncé and Jay Z when he was born in February 2010 so they could raise him as their own child, told Inside Edition: "I don't expect Beyoncé to take accountability. It's not her problem. It's not her situation."
Alexsandra said Matthew still owes her $32,000 in court-ordered child support payments, which he denied in December and insisted was merely the result of a paperwork delay.
She added: "I tried everything to not have it public, but unfortunately that's just not the way that Matthew chose to deal with this.
"I'm going to stand up and I'm going to fight, and I'm going to fight the next day because that's the only way to give him his identity."
Matthew married former model Gena Avery in Houston, Texas last July but neither Beyoncé nor her younger sister Solange Knowles, 27, attended the ceremony.
The 'XO' singer, who has a two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Jay Z, previously hinted that she and Matthew, who split from her mother Tina Knowles in 2009 and divorced her in December 2011 after 31 years of marriage, were still in the process of rebuilding their relationship after they decided he would no longer be her manager in 2011.

"They were in a small group of about 10 people, it's really a small venue and there were maybe only about 30 people in the bar, and they were sitting at a table off to the side."

Lindsay Lohan is no longer being sued for an alleged hit and run incident.
Nubia Del Carmen Preza has dropped the lawsuit she filed against the 27-year-old actress in 2012.
The nanny claimed she was pushing a baby stroller in West Hollywood in June 2010 when the 'Mean Girls' star hit her with her Maserati.

The 'Machete Kills' star said: "Before, I was so fearful of failure and judgment that I was scared to put myself out there.

She said: "I don't have to be a boss; I don't have to be a wife; I don't have to be a sister.
"It's been liberating to be able to play someone who's a badass or promiscuous because that's the opposite of who I am ... It's like a drug."

I just know that I want to be happy and smiling."

Khloe's relationship and split from Lamar has been documented for her family's reality series, but she said: "People hate us for showing stuff and they hate us when we say, 'Fine, we won't show it anymore.' I don't have any regrets. I wouldn't change a thing. You learn as you go."
