Porn star Emily Willis is hospitalized in critical condition after ‘drug overdose’ at celebrity rehab center in Malibu
Porn star Emily Willis has been hospitalized and is in critical condition after a ‘drug overdose.’
Willis was transported from a popular celebrity rehab center on Monday after authorities received a call about an unresponsive 25-year-old, who TMZ confirmed is the porn star.
She was taken to a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, California, for treatment.
It is unclear what kind of drugs she had in her system when she was found. DailyMail.com contacted police for confirmation but did not receive a response in time for this report.
The star from Argentina, who made a name for herself in the industry in 2017, has not posted on her Instagram in more than six weeks and has not posted to her TikTok in months.
Willis has starred in multiple videos and collaborated with popular porn brands like Reality Kings and Evil Angel.
She has also been featured in Penthouse Magazine, won awards at the Adult Video News Awards, been featured in music videos and modeling campaigns.
According to IMDB, Willis has been nominated 15 times and has a nomination for 2024 for the Adult Video Awards for ‘Favorite Porn Star Creator.’
In recent years, she has also grown close to well-known social media stars like David Dobrik, and has been seen in his YouTube videos.
TMZ reported that in 2021, Willis filed a defamation suit against other porn stars and alleged that they were attacking her on social media.
In one of her most recent posts to Instagram, Willis promoted a new sci-fi thriller movie called Divinity that was released in October.
In the film, she played a ‘seductive woman’ alongside ‘two mysterious brothers.’
Her reported overdose is the latest in the industry in recent months. In January, porn star Jesse Jane, 43, was found dead along with her boyfriend at home in Oklahoma after cops discovered their bodies during a welfare check.
Police said that the star, real name Cindy Taylor, was found alongside her partner, Brett Hasenmueller, at a property in the city of Moore.
Law enforcement officials said that the famed actress and her boyfriend appeared to have died from a drug overdose.
Officers had responded to their address for a welfare check, after Hasenmueller hadn’t appeared at work for a few days.
The exact cause of death is currently unknown, as a medical examiner is currently investigating to make a final determination.
Fellow porn stars, actors, directors and the head of the adult actors guild went on to pay tribute to Jane following her death.
Adult actor and director Tommy Gunn, real name Thomas Strada, shared an emotional tribute to Jane, with whom he had co-starred in multiple films including ‘Pirates.’
Taking to X, Gunn shared an image of the two together saying he was ‘grateful to have been graced’ by her presence.
Gunn also touched on how he saw her passing as being the end of the ‘golden days’ of the adult movie industry.
He said: ‘I’m at a loss for words about the news of Jesse Jane’s passing, we started the same year in 2004.
‘She possessed an energy about herself that was just unmatchable, she was such a wonderful person and always made me smile and feel loved, you could always feel her presence the moment she walked in the room.
‘We worked together numerous times and in fact made some of the biggest Movies this business and the world will ever see.
‘This news brings a bit of sign that the golden days of the industry are over most certainly over.
‘I’m so happy and grateful to have been part of a time where there was a feeling of family and camaraderie.
‘Rest in Power Angel, I’m grateful to have been graced by your presence. And to ALL of the other wonderful people we have lost along the way, You are not forgotten. I love you!’
