The fatal crash occurred five weeks ago - leaving her fighting for her life at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute in Moscow.
Ksenia was a passenger in the Porsche when the vehicle suddenly collided with the animal.
She was a runner up in the Miss Russia pageant in 2017, representing Moscow.
The beloved model was also a Miss Universe contestant in the same year.
The recently married beauty queen reportedly suffered a traumatic brain injury in the collision in the Tver region.
At the time of her death she was also a psychologist and psychodrama therapist.
The Miss Universe pageant's official account said on social media: 'Her grace, beauty and spirit left an indelible mark on the Miss Universe family."
'May her memory continue to inspire kindness, strength and love in all those fortunate enough to have known her.'
Fellow beauty queen Anna Linnikova said tragic Ksenia 'had just got married, settled down, and was happy".
The late model married her partner in late March this year, according to her social media.

Linnikova, who was Miss Russia 2022, said: "This is a reminder to all of us that we need to appreciate every moment of life.
'You never know when an event will happen that will take away your loved ones.'
The 43-year-old driver of the Porsche has not been named.
But while driving the car with Ksenia in the passenger seat, they were reportedly "unable to avoid the collision".
Ksenia's death was confirmed by Moscow-based modelling agency Modus Vivendis.
She passed away on Tuesday, August 12, after battling for her life in hospital.
The beauty queen was born and raised in Moscow, and had been modelling with the agency since she was 19.
She graduated from Moscow Pedagogical State University with a degree in Psychology in 2022.
In April, a European beauty queen died after tragically plunging from a bridge onto a motorway while fleeing from police.
Güler Erdogan, 27, was caught drunk behind the wheel in Giresun, Turkey, and fell 50ft from the bridge as she tried to flee from cops on April 1.
And in October, beauty model Samanta Villarreal Núñez died in a horror crash while she was travelling in a pickup truck.
She was in the vehicle with her sister and a friend when the driver lost control of the car before smashing into a ravine.

I was so stressed after my dream £6k honeymoon cruise was cancelled my face COLLAPSED & was left PARALYSED
Gail was told the cruise was being cancelled as she prepared to board FACE IT I was so stressed after my dream £6k honeymoon cruise was cancelled my face COLLAPSED & was left PARALYSED Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEWLY-WED'S face collapsed from stress after her dream honeymoon was cancelled at the last minute. Gail Morgan, 50, suffered a Bell's Palsy attack, paralysing the muscles down one side of her face after the £6,000 cruise was postponed just prior to boarding - and then axed completely.

They say, subsequently, their treatment by operator Celebrity Cruises has been "disgusting" - and they've only received a third of the value back as vouchers. Gail told The Sun: 'I was inconsolable. I broke down in tears. 'The heartbreak of losing our honeymoon and my 50th birthday trip, a holiday we had looked forward to for years, was overwhelming. 'And still, not a single word of communication from Celebrity Cruises. 'I recently completed my masters in social care, and this was also meant to celebrate my achievement. 'But the very next day, my facial muscles on the right side of my face stiffened up. 'Since then, my face has been stiff. I'm still going through it.' Upon return to the UK, a doctor's assessment confirmed that the 'emotional trauma and psychological stress' were 'direct contributing factors to the onset of Bell's Palsy'. The cruise was due to depart from Port Miami on July 20. Inside Love Island winners Kai and Sanam's lavish honeymoon in Bali Initially, the cruise was delayed by a day, before it was cancelled due to a 'technical issue' affecting the liner's speed. Morgan added: 'We're working class people from a small village in Wales. 'It took us three years to save for this, skipping out on holidays and life's little luxuries. 'This was meant to be a milestone. 'Celebrity Cruises didn't even inform us of the initial delay and then the outright cancellation. 'We were informed by strangers who overheard our conversations. 'When we finally knew that it was cancelled, we couldn't even make emergency calls and had to borrow people's phones because we had British numbers.' Morgan and Davies were issued with a credit voucher each, both totalling £2,619. However, Morgan told The Sun: 'This is not good enough. 'First of all, you can't use the vouchers together, you can only use one voucher per cruise. 'You can't use the vouchers on special offers either, forcing people like us, who are working class, to pay for more expensive cruises. 'On top of that, they said they can't reimburse us for other charges incurred, like the taxi fee to get to the hotel. 'We didn't ask for any of this, and the way they have treated us has been disgusting.' A spokesperson for Celebrity Cruises said: "Celebrity Cruises is in contact with the guest and their travel agent directly on this matter."

Major driving law change for all Brits could see you LOSE your licence from this autumn in huge shake-up
The rule is one of four to be introduced in a new bid to improve road safety GEAR SHIFT Major driving law change for all Brits could see you LOSE your licence from this autumn in huge shake-up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WARNING has been issued to all UK drivers after proposals for a major new law could see countless licences be revoked. Drivers have been told that breaking a rule which was once treated as a slap on the wrist could now have far more serious repercussions. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The new rule could be introduced by the end of the year Credit: Getty This comes after ministers have started preparing a new-safety package for this autumn. Among the proposals is a harsher punishment for breaking the seatbelt rule. Motorists could soon face points on their licence, rather than a fine, for failing to abide by this rule. While nothing is law yet, officials have flagged tougher penalties as a priority, reports experts at Showplates World. If this is approved after a consultations, points could follow in a matter of months. The current punishment for failing to wear a seatbelt is typically a £100 penalty. But, as it stands, the penalty is non-endorsable - meaning you won't be issued points on your licence. This is what ministers hope to change in the new autumn package, in a new bid to crack down on the issue. The UK would be following in Northern Ireland's footsteps, where a seatbelt offence can bring both a fine and 3 penalty points. Early signals suggest the tougher penalty would apply to drivers and adult passengers, bringing the UK closer to Northern Ireland's approach. Major New Driving Laws for Summer & Fall 2025: What You Need to Know The plan sits alongside other safety measures officials hope to tighten. Motorists can also expect officials to crack down on drink and drug driving, and fitness-to-drive checks. Timings will depend on the consultation and parliamentary process, however the direction of travel is very clear. Motoring experts at Showplates World are encouraging drivers to make changes to their driving habits now. A spokesperson said: "If you skip your seatbelt, you're gambling with your safety and, very soon, your licence. "Points for no-belt offences are on the table. "Our advice is simple: belt up on every journey, every seat, every time - and make sure your passengers do too." Experts are also encouraging that you make buckling up an automatic habit. Additional advice includes sorting appropriate child seats, and planning for tech enforcement, as more forces use cameras to spot unbelted occupants. Under the proposed change, all adults, aged 14 and over, will be deemed responsible for wearing their own seatbelt, and can expect to face points for not abiding by the rule. For those under 14, the driver is legally responsible for correct restraints. There are a handful of narrow exemptions to the rule, which include reversing, certain emergency service duties, and medical exemptions with proper certification. These exemptions do not extend to convenience or comfort, and motorists should assume a belt must be worn unless they clearly fall into a listed exemption. The Sun reported earlier this month that UK motorists could face four major changes to driving in a major shakeup. According to The Times, these proposed changes reflect stricter measures to improve road safety and introduce tougher penalties for rule violations, which will include a reduction of the drink-drive limit and older drivers being required to take mandatory eye tests. These amendments, set to be introduced to help tackle persistent safety issues on UK roads and reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries, have been put forward by UK Government ministers and led by the Department for Transport (DfT). They represent the biggest reform to driving laws since the Road Safety Act of 2006 - a major piece of legislation which aimed to improve road safety in the UK. In addition to tougher penalties for failing to wear a seatbelt, the drink-drive limit could also be lowered, and measures may be introduced to ensure drivers over 70 are fit to drive. Tougher penalties may also be introduced for uninsured drivers.
