“Sophia was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend,” her stepfather Mike Romero wrote on the crowdfunding page

Leone had more than 300,000 followers on Instagram alone, where she posted racy photos from her glamorous film shoots.

“Sophia was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend,” her stepfather Mike Romero wrote on the crowdfunding page.

‘She had a deep love for all animals, especially her three pets.

‘She enjoyed traveling and always found ways to make everyone around her smile.

Sophia will be deeply missed but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.’

Her stepfather said she was found unresponsive at her home by family members and that police were investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.

The industry has suffered a wave of tragedies in recent weeks with Kagney Linn Karter’s apparent suicide last month and the discovery that Jesse Jane, real name Cindy Taylor, was found dead at 43 with her boyfriend at their home in Oklahoma days earlier.

Meanwhile, Emily Willis is in a ‘vegetative coma’ and ‘fighting for her life’, her stepfather Michael Willis has revealed.

Willis was rushed from a popular celebrity rehab center in Malibu on Feb. 5 to a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, Calif., after authorities received a call about the 25-year-old, who was found unresponsive.

She had been staying at the facility to receive treatment for addiction, although it is unclear exactly what and for how long.

Michael Willis denied claims she had ‘overdose’ and said: ‘Emily received the treatment and help she needed at the time of the incident to overcome her struggles.

‘Emily remains in a vegetative coma and is fighting for her life.’
