Adult Star Kylie Page Dies At Age 28

The adult industry is mourning the loss of a shining star. Kylie Page, an adult film actress renowned for her bubbly personality and upbeat disposition, died on June 25 in Los Angeles at 28, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said.

Striking fame in 2016, Kylie became a recognizable face in the adult industry and the broader media, having appeared in the Netflix show Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On, which documented the human side of adult film jobs. Her openness and unapologetic attitude brought awareness to the intricacies of the adult industry and established her as more than a performer, but as a voice.

The cause of her death is not yet known, but the news has prompted a flood of tributes from colleagues and spread across social media. Adult star cohort Leah Gotti reflected on the golden memories of their induction into the industry. The two met at 18 and lived in what's referred to in the industry as a "model house." Gotti said Kylie was "infectious," a larger-than-life personality who brightened every place she went.

"She was really light and bright and she just loved to smile, laugh, and really valued living life to the fullest and being free as much as possible," Gotti said, referencing Kylie's unfiltered joy in pursuing her career and her life path. Kylie Page was not only a fan favorite on screen, but she was also known and loved off-screen for being herself and her kindness towards everyone around her. Her legacy extends not only to the scenes she shot but also to the relationships she formed and the people she touched. She represented a freedom that many longed for, unafraid to be herself in a judgmental world.

With condolences continuing to flow from fans and industry colleagues, Kylie Page's light shone bright, even if only briefly. Though the world is a little duller without her, her memory will always burn brightly. The industry and, to those who knew her, she was not simply an actress, a distinctive smile, but a friend, a free spirit and a magnet for neglected people with stories to tell will remember her not only as an actress, but as a friend, a free spirit and a reminder of the human stories behind the spotlight.
