A popular OnlyFans model has been found dead in her home, two weeks after her family last heard from her and raised the alarm.

Juli Luxie, 21, was reported missing by her father in France who suggested she was “depressed” and said she was not answering the phone. Police rushed to her home in Essone, France, where they found the young model dead, close to her front door, which was locked from the inside.

Officers who searched the home discovered traces of blood in her apartment home, as well as bottles of nitrous oxide - also known as laughing gas. Juli, also known as Julie Diablotine, boasted around 40,000 followers on Instagram and more on OnlyFans.

Police probing the model’s death have launched an investigation into the tragedy. A post mortem is expected to be held in the coming days, with local media reporting she had ‘consumed’ nitrious oxide in ‘large quantities’.

Many of her followers posted messages of support for the young model, as well as her former partner, Jaouad Daouki. He said: “You left without saying goodbye, I always loved you (…) go in peace my heart. I love you.” Their relationship had been controversial when they first met as she was only 16 at the time and he was 33.

One person said: “Rest in peace my Ju, thanks for what you’ve done for me, to our virtual childhood memories. Flying kisses.” Another added: “May she rest in peace, too young to leave…”

Another said: “I have all my respect for her, I wish her to finally find peace, she was so unhappy so destroyed. To lose her life at 21 years old while she had all the time to rebuild myself. She lost the hope… I can’t even find the words may she rest in peace. She was a rose asking to be sprinkled with love and kindness. Leave her now she gone join the stars”
