Porn star Olivia Nova, who rose to fame in the adult film industry in just a matter of months, has died at the young age of 20.
The Minnesota native was found dead in Las Vegas on January 7.
The cause of death is still not known, her agency, LA Direct Models, said in a statement released Monday.
On Christmas, Nova posted on Twitter that she was spending the holidays alone. The post said she wanted to 'give a fan a call' to 'lift my spirits'.
Nova's death comes less than a year after her boyfriend committed suicide. In a tweet earlier in December, she said he killed himself two days before her birthday in April.

Nova died after spending the holidays alone, according to his Twitter post from Christmas
Earlier in December, Nova revealed that her boyfriend committed suicide in April
The Minnesota native started acting in the porn industry in March 2017
Nova started acting in pornographic films in March of 2017.
'While only represented by Direct Models for a short period of time, we came to know Olivia as a beautiful girl with a very sweet and gentle personality,' LA Direct Models said, according to XBIZ. com.
'It is understood next of kin have been informed,' they added. 'Another one, way too young we are beyond shocked and most certainly, completely out of the blue. Rest in peace, sweet angel.'
Derek Hay, owner of LA Direct Models which signed Nova just before Christmas, described her as a 'sweet, mild-mannered girl'.
'It's very very sudden, she was really a sweet, mild mannered girl, we're very saddened by her death, she was only 20,' he told DailyMail.com.
'We had no inclination of any problems with her at all. I've spoken to a couple of friends of Olivia's and I have spoken to the coroner's office and her death is a mystery. Suicide isn't suspected and it doesn't seem anyone else was involved.
'Somebody must have been with her in the hours that preceded her death and if that person emerges we may learn more, but the death is not considered suspicious. There will be a post mortem but we won't get the results for six to eight weeks.'
'While only represented by Direct Models for a short period of time, we came to know Olivia as a beautiful girl with a very sweet and gentle personality,' LA Direct Models said in a statement on Monday
Hay said Olivia - whose real first name is Alexis - had only been signed up to LA Direct Models for two months and she had been in the porn industry for just a year.
'We sent her to shoot in Prague and Paris which she completed, returning from that trip just a few days prior to Christmas. I have been speaking to Olivia regularly, she lives in Vegas, my office is in Vegas. She wanted to move from one agency to my own and we met several times to discuss the possibility of doing that.'
Hay says Nova died at a private residence in Vegas but not her own place and there was indication she was depressed despite tweeting she was spending the holidays alone.
He said the death - the fourth in porn in recent months - has rocked the industry.
'We're keenly aware, this is the fourth death in the porn industry in the past three months, it's incredible,' he said.
In an August interview with photographer Dave Naz, Nova said that she was shaking with nerves the first time she stripped for a project. But she said she was comfortable 'within seconds'.
She also said she had aspirations outside of the industry.
When asked where she saw herself in 10 years time, she said she planned on graduating school.
'I also have this huge project, it's non profit, that I want to be a part of,' Nova added.
Nova is the fourth porn star to die in recent months. August Ames, 23, committed suicide on December 6 while Turi Luv died in August from a drug overdose.
Shyla Stylez, 35, died in November and her cause of death is still unknown.

Last Days of August: A porn star's suicide reveals a dark truth
The night the Santa Paula fires ripped through the canyon towards Ventura, propelled by winds of 80 kilometres per hour, Mercedes Grabowski was found dead in a park in nearby Camarillo.
A coroner would rule it as suicide.
The porn actress, known professionally as August Ames, had been caught up in a firestorm of a different kind. After tweeting that she would not work with a "crossover" co-star who had filmed gay scenes, the wrath of the porn industry and Twitter at large descended upon her.
After her death, the wind would change direction, and others stood in its path: gay porn star Jaxton Wheeler, who had said August should take a cyanide pill; veteran actress Jessica Drake, whose more oblique tweets were framed as cyberbullying; and August's husband, porn producer Kevin Moore.
August is the subject of a new audiobook, The Last Days of August. It's an investigation by journalist Jon Ronson and producer Lina Misitzis, combining two of Ronson's previous interests — internet pile-ons, the subject of his book, So You've Been Publicly Shamed , and the tech takeover of the porn industry, which he explores in The Butterfly Effect, an audiobook he made with Misitzis.
"I really enjoyed hanging out on porn sets; it was a nice break from my stressful work," Ronson says ruefully. But that would change.
His plan for The Last Days of August had been to interview the people who Twitter-shamed the actress and find out what led them to that moment.
Instead, he found himself burdened with a huge sense of responsibility — first to August, but also to the grieving husband, Moore, around whom terrible rumours were circulating.
There was speculation among his interviewees that Moore had murdered his wife — based largely on the fact that one of his exes had overdosed and another, also in the porn industry, was institutionalised. It moved Ronson to break from his narrator role and address the listener directly.
"I want to stop for a moment and tell you something … this will not turn out to be a murder mystery", he warns.
There are many of these caveats embedded in Ronson's narrative, and in our interview too, where his go-to words are "understanding", "compassion", "empathy" and "tenderness", consciously or unconsciously giving us a perspective to adopt.
And his mild-mannered Welshness is a stark contrast to the bombastic manner of his subjects — in particular, Moore. At one point he feels moved to advise Moore not to "set off a hand grenade" by releasing a statement called The Truth that lays the blame of his wife's death at the feet of Drake and Wheeler.
"She ended her life the day after the bullying began. To think they are unrelated is delusional," he wrote in The Truth, then pinned to August's Twitter account.
"She believed everyone hated her, she could not see past that."
August Ames was 23 when she died on December 5, 2017. She had appeared in around 270 sex scenes. She was also, according to old interviews, a "military brat", a "dork" who loved to shop at Target, and a victim of family child sex abuse who wound up in a group home.
Her husband was much older, as is the case with many couples in the industry. The dynamic often leads to controlling, dysfunctional relationships, which is how many interviewees describe Moore and August's.
And then there were August's professional relationships. One key player who avoids much questioning is actor Markus Dupree, who filmed an aggressive scene with Ames months before her death. Her brother believes this triggered traumatic childhood memories and sent her spiralling.
August sent a girlfriend photos of her bruises and a shocking account of the scene. However, she backed away from her claims when her husband contacted the production company in a rage.
Dupree refused Ronson's requests for an interview. "If somebody doesn't want to engage with us it doesn't feel fair for us to poke around in their life," Ronson says.
But after much pushing of the production company, Ronson and Misitzis managed to watch the never-released scene. It's like hearing August's voice from the grave.
At the end of her scene, August is interviewed by a crew member to establish consent for legal purposes. It raises the question as to whether consent can realistically be given when an actress's career depends on her willingness to cooperate.
As Misitzis recounts in The Last Days of August:
"She's staring straight into the camera, holding up her cheque for the day's work, her makeup's gone, her hair is pulled back. She looks resigned and emotional and hollow all at once. 'Were you treated okay?' she's asked, and flatly, quietly, she says, 'Yes.' For the first time in this footage, all the camera is focused on is August's face and she seems like she's verging on tears."
When he watched the scene, Ronson was searching for signs that the men in the room knew August was unhappy — which was difficult to ascertain. The impact didn't hit him till later.
"I think it's not that dissimilar to being a war reporter," he says of the flashbacks he's experienced since. "At the time you compartmentalise it because the important thing is to get the story, but when it's over you suddenly start feeling very strange."
It brings to mind the thoughts of a female porn producer in The Last Days of August. She compares young actresses to "baby elephants in the circus". They don't realise that as they mature they are strong enough to escape their chains.
Between August's death and the 35th annual Adult Entertainment Expo and Adult Video News Awards a little over a month later, three more young female porn stars died. August had complained of a pervading loneliness, something echoed by Ronson's other interviewees.
"The loneliness of LA is like frostbite," Ronson says. "It gets into your bones.
"There's a great quote from [the actor] Stephen Mangan: 'In Hollywood they kill you with encouragement.' It happened to me. You go to LA and you're told you're the greatest voice of your generation … and then nothing happens."
Three months before her death, August told podcaster Holly Randall of her difficulty in sourcing help for her mental health issues.
"They'd be like, 'What's your profession?' and I'd be like, 'Oh, I'm in the adult industry,' and then I'd feel like they're like, 'Oh, that's the whole reason that you are the way you are,' and then I'd get turned off," she said. "I need to find a good f--king therapist."
In The Last Days of August, Ronson asks Moore if he's heard of the JB Priestley play, An Inspector Calls. He hasn't.
"A police officer comes to a house and says that a working-class girl has committed suicide," Ronson explains. "No one in the house knows who she is and then one by one they realise that a tiny thing that they did weighed her down."
But in the final chapter, Moore has had a change of tune. "I don't think there's anything wrong with sex or pornography, but the business is very sick. It's very, very subversively sick. For 20 years I've lived a life that I kind of regret now," he says, his voice cracking.
"We are making a living off the backs of the mentally ill. I can't say to the business, 'You guys have ruined people's lives' and not include myself."
The Last Days of August is available now as an Audible Original. Jenny Valentish is a freelance writer and author of books such as Woman of Substances: a journey into addiction and treatment.

UPDATE: Jesse Jane has refuted the police’s version of events, telling The Post exclusively that she was drugged.
Porn star Jesse Jane was busted for public intoxication earlier this month in Oklahoma after she was found drunk and soaked in urine following a college football game, police video shows.
Jane — whose real name is Cindy Taylor — was arrested on Nov. 10 after the showdown between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in Norman, where the 38-year-old was unable to provide cops with a number for someone to come pick her up after being spotted lying on a sidewalk, KFOR reports .
Police body-camera video obtained by the station shows the adult film star seated in the back of a police cruiser moments after being approached by police following Oklahoma’s 48-47 win in front of more than 87,000 fans.
“She p—ed her pants,” one officer said. “Do you want to search her?”
Cops tried to help Jane by asking her to provide a phone number for someone to pick her up, but she was unable to help herself, video obtained by the station shows.
“Jesse?” one cop asked the porn star, apparently recognizing the woman.
“I didn’t do anything,” she replied.
At another point, an officer flatly offered to call someone to pick Jane up so
