Porn star Olivia Nova dead aged 20

Porn star Olivia Nova has died aged 20, her agent confirmed.

LA Direct Models said they were "beyond shocked by the sudden death."

In a statement they said: "While only represented by Direct Models for a short period of time, we came to know Olivia as a beautiful girl with a very sweet and gentle personality.

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

The cause of death is not yet known.

Nova started out her career as a model after she was scouted at the age of 12 and only moved into the adult film industry in 2017.

Tragically, in an interview from last August, Nova was asked where she saw herself in ten years time.

"I plan on graduating school," she told photographer Dave Naz.

"I also have this huge project, it's non profit, that I want to be a part of," Nova added without giving any further detail.

Elsewhere in the interview, Nova told how she was shaking with nerves the first time she had to strip off on camera, but 'within seconds' felt comfortable with her body.

During her short career, Olivia was represented by LA Direct Models and performed for numerous adult film production houses including Brazzers, Naughty America, FTV Girls, New Sensations and Digital Sin, according to Xbiz .

Nova has become the fourth porn star to die in the adult film industry in the last three months.

August Ames, 23,Yuri Luv, 31 and Shyla Stylez, 35, all passed away recently.

In a heartbreaking Tweet, Nova revealed that she'd spent last Christmas by herself.

Nova was so desperate for company, that she reached out to her fan base on Twitter and asked if she could call somebody to help 'lift her spirits'.

"Alone on the holidays and want to give a fan a holiday call. Would lift my spirits," she tweeted on Christmas day.

Although she'd only been in the adult film industry a few months, Nova told photographer Dave Naz last year it helped her with her confidence.

Talking about the first time she got naked on camera she said: ""I was pretty nervous but within a couple of seconds as I was like 'you got this.'

Nova also revealed she was a keen singer who writes and records her own music, comparing her style to that of Amy Winehouse.

The interviewer then asked if she saw the documentary Amy about the late singer.

"I watched it on my way to Hawaii and everybody was looking at me because I was crying on the plane," she said.

Nova also said she was currently working on her own debut album 'with a pretty big person' but declined to give the name.
