Industry fans and colleagues were stunned Friday when 28-year-old adult actress Kylie Page was found dead in her Los Angeles home. Her production company, Velvet Dreams Entertainment, released a poignant statement calling Page “one of our brightest lights” whose “talent and kindness touched everyone she worked with.”
@VelvetDreamsEnt “We are devastated by Kylie Page’s passing. She was more than a star—she was family. Our hearts go out to her loved ones.” Read the full statement
Page first rose to prominence in 2018 with her debut in the romance-themed series Hearts Aflame, produced by Adult Video News. By 2022 she had appeared in over 50 titles and garnered several industry nominations, including a nod from the AVN Awards for Best New Starlet. Colleagues remember her as professional, compassionate, and fiercely supportive of mental-health initiatives within the adult industry.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office confirmed Saturday that Page’s death was ruled accidental, due to acute prescription medication toxicity, with an ongoing investigation into the circumstances. Friends say Page had recently spoken openly about struggles with chronic pain following a 2023 car accident, and had sought help through both medical and holistic treatments.
Her passing ignited a wave of grief on social media. Under #RememberKyliePage, fans and fellow performers shared memories and urged colleagues to prioritize self-care. “Kylie always reminded us to seek help when we need it,” tweeted veteran performer Mia Monroe. “Her legacy will be advocacy for support networks in our community.”

Industry veteran and director James Kincaid told Reuters that Page was instrumental in launching a peer-counseling hotline earlier this year, aimed at connecting performers with mental-health professionals. “She wasn’t content to shine on camera—she wanted real change off-camera,” Kincaid said. “Her work will save lives.”

Page’s family issued their own tribute on her Instagram page, describing her as “a beloved daughter, friend, and advocate” whose “passion for helping others burned as brightly as her talent.” Close friends reveal that she had recently been exploring a pivot into directing, collaborating with small independent studios to mentor newcomers.
The tragedy has prompted calls for improved healthcare protocols for performers. The Performer Wellness Foundation announced Sunday it will host a virtual summit in April focused on prescription safety and chronic-pain management. Foundation president Dr. Lisa Reynolds emphasized to CNN Health that “no one in any field should fear seeking help for pain or mental health. Kylie’s death must catalyze systemic change.”

Social platforms have also faced scrutiny over how performers access medical advice online. In response, TikTok and Instagram pledged to prioritize verified health information in their recommendation algorithms, per updates shared by TechCrunch. Critics applaud the move but note more must be done to combat unverified “remedies” that can endanger vulnerable users.
Page’s death has reignited debate around the adult industry’s support structures. A recent peer-reviewed study found that 62% of adult performers have experienced chronic pain, yet only 34% have access to employer-sponsored healthcare. Advocates say that model contracts should include mandatory health coverage and access to licensed providers.

Despite the outpouring of support, some fans express frustration at the taboo surrounding adult-entertainment healthcare. Under #IndustryCareNow, users demand unions or collectives be formed to negotiate comprehensive benefits. “If Kylie had a union, she might have had safer access to pain management,” wrote user @UnionizeAdult.

As news outlets update their coverage, companies in the adult industry are reviewing their wellness policies. Velvet Dreams Entertainment announced a partnership with the Performer Wellness Foundation to expand on-set medical services and create an emergency grant fund for performers facing health crises. The studio also pledged to continue Page’s mentorship programs under the banner “Kylie’s Circle.”
Fans continue to share their grief and gratitude online. Under #KyliesCircle, performers and supporters post stories of how Page inspired them to seek help, start creative projects, or simply reach out to friends in need. “She saved me with one message: ‘You’re not alone,’” wrote @NewComerStar.

In a final Instagram post, Page shared a photo of herself at a redwood forest, captioned, “Find your roots, breathe deep, and keep dreaming.” Her message resonates now as the community she helped nurture rallies to turn tragedy into progress—ensuring that Kylie Page’s passion for art and advocacy will continue to shine long after her passing.
