Joi "SJ" Harris, who was killed in a motorcycle crash on the Vancouver set of "Deadpool 2", was identified as the first African-American female professional road racer.
Just before resuming the shoot, Reynolds led a moment of silence for Harris, reported Entertainment Weekly.
The tragic incident took place at the 1000 Block of West Waterfront Road, Vancouver BC, near Jack Poole Plaza.
Reynolds had also posted a statement on social media, saying, "Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool. We're heartbroken, shocked and devastated... but recognise nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment.
Production on "Deadpool 2" began in late June and the film is scheduled to release in 2018.
