An 18-year-old blogger from Russia has died in a motorbike accident in Bali after losing control of the vehicle.

Video footage shows the teen’s last moments where she filmed herself on the Ninja 250 motorbike wearing a helmet while smiling into the mirror before capturing a panning sunset view on a beach.
Anastasia, who’s real surname is Zubrina, had been a blogger since the age of 12, with an Instagram following of 1.2 million.
She said how she “became a millionaire at 15” from her successful internet presence and would often share motivational posts alongside glamorous travelling snaps of her time in Bali.
“I inspire you to do what you can’t,” one post reads.
“I grow your wings and send you to go freelance.”
Anastasia reportedly stayed in Bali for lockdown after a trip to the island to boost her Instagram.
She was embroiled in a public row with her father just before she died. He had warned her that her online success story was turning to failure, according to the Daily Mail.
“Your business is collapsing,” he said.
“Your team is just having fun at your expense. You do not finish your new projects ….
“You have only fun in mind. You have to hold on to your mind and start working if you want to live well.”
