Young porn star Olivia Nova becomes the fourth to die in three months

DAYS after Olivia Nova asked fans to “lift her spirits”, the adult star was found dead. She’s the fourth porn actor to die in three months.

JUST days after saying she was lonely on Christmas, porn star Olivia Nova was found dead.

The 20-year-old adult film star was found in a Las Vegas home on Sunday, with her agent LA Direct Models confirming her death yesterday.

The talent agency for porn performers said it was “deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our model”.

“We came to know Olivia as a beautiful girl with a very sweet and gentle personality,” a statement read.

“Another one, way too young we are beyond shocked and most certainly, completely out of the blue. Rest in peace sweet angel.”

Olivia Nova died after less than a year in the industry.

The circumstances surrounding her death are currently unknown with a coroner’s report expected to take six to eight weeks.

Nova tweeted about being lonely a number of times on Christmas Day, referring to herself as a “lonely lady” in one conversation with a fan.

When the two were speaking about vegan alcohol, Nova tweeted a photo of her Christmas socks writing, “Haha I’d just be the lonely lady wearing festive socks buying booze”.

Earlier on Christmas she tweeted: “Alone on the holidays and want to give a fan a holiday call. Would lift my spirit”.

The young actor also referred to struggling with OCD in a December 21 tweet.

“If I even get close to getting a dry skin bump I sit there and pick at it for like a month and it never goes away. My OCD will be the end of my career #ShootCancelled,” she wrote.

Also in December, Nova hit out at a fan who claimed she was using heroin, revealing her boyfriend died from an overdose on the same drug in April.

“My boyfriend killed himself two days before my birthday in April on [heroin], that’s not cool to poke at...not over him,” she wrote.

Nova entered the porn industry last March and was already building up a devoted fan base.

She had more than 20,000 followers on Twitter and was followed by close to 5000 people on Instagram.

Olivia Nova died at the age of 20.

Nova, whose real name was Lexi Rose Forte, will be laid to rest in her home state of Minnesota with her family starting a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral costs.

Her mother Leslie is now on her way to Las Vegas to sort through Lexie’s belongings, retrieve her dog and bring her body home to Minnesota.

At the time of writing, the page has raised $6,185 of its $8,000 goal in less than a day.

Nova is the fourth porn star to die in the industry in three months.

Famous porn star August Ames ended her life days after she sparked an online firestorm over tweets about working with men who had appeared in gay adult movies.

Ames was labelled a “homophobe” for the tweet and brutally bullied online.

The 23-year-old, who had starred in more than 270 adult films, died on December 8.

August Ames committed suicide in December.

A week later, fellow porn star Yuri Luv died of a suspected drug overdose.

One of her last Instagram posts was captioned: “I hope to my death, late, in love, and a little drunk.”

Shyla Stylez, 35, a hall of fame porn star, died in her sleep in November.
