Adult film star Sophia Leone has died at age 26 after she was found unresponsive in her home.
Leone's family found her unresponsive in her home on March 1, and her stepfather, Mike Romero, stated that police are investigating her death via a GoFundMe page.
"Sophia was found unresponsive in her apartment home on March 1st, 2024 by her family," read the statement on GoFundMe. "A[n] investigation by local police into the cause of death is still currently on going."
Elsewhere in the statement on GoFundMe, Leone's family said she was "a beloved Daughter, Sister, Grand Daughter, Niece and Friend" who had a "deep love for all animals."
Leone grew up in Miami and debuted in the adult film industry in 2015, starring in over 150 films with Naughty America, Brazzers, Reality Kings, and more. Throughout her work in the adult entertainment industry, Leone reportedly made over $1 million.
News of Leone's sudden passing comes after fellow porn star Emily Willis' stepfather, Michael Willis, revealed his stepdaughter was in a "vegetative coma" following her hospitalization back in February. According to TMZ, Willis' stepfather stated she never regained consciousness following her admission to the hospital and is currently in a coma.
Willis had been in rehab for a week before she went to the hospital and went into cardiac arrest during her treatment. Toxicology reports stated she didn't have drugs in her system at the time she was admitted to the hospital.
Law enforcement reported that Willis had suffered an apparent overdose, but her family is still waiting for a physical version of the toxicology reports.
