Zoe Parker, a former award-nominated adult film actress, has reportedly died.

According to a GoFundMe page set up to cover funeral expenses, the 24-year-old passed away in her sleep on 12 September.

A cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

She had recently left the adult film industry in Los Angeles after appearing in more than 120 scenes between 2014 and 2019, The Daily Star reported.

Parker left the industry to be closer to her family and had recently become engaged, according to the page set up by Jay Campbell.

“She had started doing great and recently announced her engagement and by all accounts seemed truly happy for the first time in her life,” the page read.

Parker joined the adult entertainment industry in 2014 working in scenes for Desperate Pleasures and Bang Bro, Adult Video News reported.

After moving to Los Angeles to pursue porn full time she reportedly worked for a number of other studios including Evil Angel, Team Skeet, Zero Tolerance Entertainment, Adam & Eve Pictures, Girlfriends Films, Mofos and Filly Films.

The 24-year-old earned an AVN Awards nomination for Best Virtual Reality Sex Scene for “VR Bangers’ Valentine’s Day Surprise” in 2017, the outlet reported.
