The parents of late Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin have settled a wrongful death claim against the makers of the car which killed him.
The confidential settlement agreement between Victor and Irina Yelchin and Fiat Chrysler was filed and agreed on Thursday, with the carmaker saying it was "pleased that we've reached an amicable resolution in this matter".
Although the late actor's parents have not yet commented on the settlement, their lawyer Gary Dordick said the money would go to the Anton Yelchin Foundation and fund a documentary on his life.
Anton Yelchin died in June last year when his Jeep Grand Cherokee crushed him between a letterbox and a fence at the doorstep of his LA home.

The 27-year-old got out of his car in his driveway, failing to securely put it in "park". The vehicle than rolled backwards down the steep path towards him.
He died of accidental blunt force asphyxia.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in February that 2015 models of the vehicle - like Yelchin's - could continue to move after drivers thought they had locked them in "park", and linked the issue to more than 100 crashes.

Manufacturer Fiat Chrysler's US unit issued a recall for hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokees and other models in April to address the problem.
"We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to the Yelchin family for their tragic loss," Fiat Chrysler said.
