“Go outside and just appreciate life a little extra today,” the 26-year-old, wearing jeans and a tank top and flashing a peace sign over her shoulder, wrote in the post.

The Miami-born actress was found “unresponsive” in her New Mexico apartment on March 1.

According to her agency, her case is being investigated as a “home invasion homicide,” the New York Post reported.

A GoFundMe has since been launched by her stepfather Mike Romero on behalf of the star’s mother and family to cover funeral expenses and any costs associated with the investigation “as the family works through this heartbreak.”

“I’ll be forever grateful to you.”

Her stepfather said was found unresponsive in her home by family members and that police were investigating the circumstances of her death.

Leone’s death is the latest in a wave of tragedies surrounding stars in the porn industry, including Kagney Linn Karter, who is believed to have taken her own life last month, as well as Jesse Jane, who was found dead alongside her boyfriend in their Oklahoma home.

Meanwhile, adult film star Emily Willis remains in a coma, after she was reportedly found unresponsive while being treated at a rehab in California.

Willis was rushed to a medical facility after authorities received a call about the 25-year-old, according to her stepfather, Michael Willis.

She had been at the Malibu facility receiving treatment for addiction, though it is unclear how long she was there.

Her stepfather, however, denied that she had overdosed.

“Emily was receiving the treatment and help she needed at the time of the incident to overcome her struggles,” he said.

“Emily remains in a vegetative coma and is fighting for her life.”
