The world is mourning the loss of yet another adult film star today as it was announced that actress Olivia Lua has passed away at the young age of 23-years-old.
Lua is the fourth adult film star to die in the past two months. Yurizan Beltran and August Ames passed away last December, and Olivia Nova was found dead in her home in a short time ago in Las Vegas.
Derek Hay, the owner of LA Direct Models--Lua’s agency, released a statement on her death. "Much comment has recently been made on the number of adult stars having passed in the last year, and with great sadness, we must inform that the list has grown longer. May she rest in peace."
In Hay’s statement, he mentions that she was not able to work for some time while she was dealing with personal issues and receiving treatment in rehab. "Olivia joined LA Direct Models in April 2017, though had not been available for work since early October of last year, as she had been facing some personal challenges that had seen her in residential rehab for a period of nearly three months and from which she had been out for about a month, hoping to make a return to work in the early part of this year."
Hay goes on to comment that he was recently made aware that she had to return to rehab. "We learned today that she had returned to a different facility in West Hollywood after a relapse, approximately a week ago, at which she was found deceased this morning."
Hay’s statement also mentions how Lua’s family and friends have stressed concerns about her prescription drug use. "Family and close friends [said] they had deep concern at the volume of prescription drugs prescribed to Olivia and the danger this posed [to] her."
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lua’s family.
