Adult film star dies aged 28 days after family asked for ‘prayers'
Vitoria Beatriz had been in hospital in critical condition for a number of days before her death. An adult film star has died at the age of 28 just days after her family shared a passionate plea to pray for their loved one. Vitoria Beatriz had been in hospital in critical condition for a number of days before her death. She died in hospital on Tuesday as her family confirmed her passing in a heartbreaking statement - but they did not disclose her cause of death. The Brazilian performer was best known for her work with Peruvian company Inka Productions. A fan who said they were in contact with the star posted on a page for the deceased 28-year-old said they remembered Vitoria for her "joy, warmth, and the light she transmitted". Her death comes days after a family statement on Instagram asked for prayers. It read: "I want to inform you that Vitoria remains hospitalised, and we, the family, have chosen not to share details of the situation. Just know that she is surrounded by care and love." Following her death, the admin of her account said: "She told me about the challenges she faced with her physical and mental health, and how difficult it was to go through this every day… She was a very strong person, but also very sensitive." Inka Productions issued an emotional tribute following news of her death. In it, they highlighted the star's impact on those she worked with. The statement read: "Her joy and the energy she radiated left a lasting impression on all of us who shared moments with her." Her family are preparing to get a GoFundMe page set up to help care for her loved one, including her six year old daughter, according to her Twitter/X account. Another user wrote: "We really lost Vitoria Beatriz bro. Regardless of her profession she was still a person. She was a sweetheart too bro, gone way too soon. R.I.P." And one fan on the social media platform also shared their devastation at the sad news. "Vitoria Beatriz died too!? Her AND @missjohndough days apart is unfair," they said. Vitoria's death comes days after another film performer and social media personality, Lina Bina, sadly died too. Also known online as MissJohnDough, Lina's family confirmed she died from complications caused by a blood clot in her heart and neck. Her sister Moni confirmed her death, writing: "I can't believe you're really gone, baby sister. I woke up this morning wishing it was a big nightmare.' Like Vitoria, Lina had amassed a large following on social media, with a lot of fans interacting on her X, Instagram and OnlyFans accounts.
