Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger gifted a photographer a $100 coffee voucher after he saved her from getting a parking fine.

The 'Bridget Jones's Diary' star was in the middle of ordering her drinks in Santa Monica when a paparazzo outside spotted her parking meter was about to expire. He put a few coins in the meter, saving her from being fined by a traffic warden.

So as a token of thanks, Zellweger presented the photographer with a $100 Starbucks voucher, reports dailymail.co.uk.

On the back of the voucher, she wrote a note saying: 'Wow. Thank you so much for the kindness. Warmly, with gratitude. Renee.'
