Tributes have been paid to a bodyguard who protected Kim Kardashian and Sir David Beckham after he was killed in a motorbike crash.

Hampshire Police said it was called to a crash involving two Harley Davidson motorbikes, a car and a motorhome van near Hook on 4 July.

One of the motorcyclists, Mason Haynes from Thames Ditton, Surrey, was pronounced dead at the scene.

His wife, Fay Cameron-Clarke, described the 52-year-old as "the most loyal and loving man" who "gave so much of himself to everyone around him".

The second motorcyclist, a man in his 30s from Farnham, Hampshire, suffered serious injuries and is being treated in hospital.

In a statement Cameron-Clarke said: "Whether he was protecting people through his work or travelling hundreds of miles to help a friend, that was simply who he was.

"He embraced every opportunity life offered, making friends wherever he went, lifting those around him and leaving an impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

"His courage, generosity, wisdom and unwavering loyalty will never be forgotten."

A family tribute issued via Hampshire police said: "We are completely devastated by the loss of our beloved Mason, a devoted husband, father, son, brother and dear friend, just two days before his 53rd birthday.

"He leaves his wife Fay, his daughter Brooke and son Noah, who were the centre of his world.

"It is impossible to put into words the void his death has left.

"Mason was larger than life in every sense. He lived life to the full, loved deeply and made an indelible impression on everyone he met. He was funny, adventurous, loyal and hugely generous with his time."

A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money for his family and for a "send-off he truly deserves".

More than £11,000 has been raised, with a goal of £18,000.

The driver of the BMW X3, a 52-year-old man from Basingstoke, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving and driving a motor vehicle while unfit through drugs.

The driver of the LDV Maxus, a 58-year-old man from Basingstoke, has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and causing death by dangerous driving.

The force said they have both since been released under investigation.
