Her colleague, Nickey Milo revealed the tragic circumstances surrounding her death after she was found dead in her Los Angeles apartment by her landlord.
“Beltran died of an apparent drug overdose,” he said,
“She was discovered by the owner of the house where she was living in Bellflower, CA. There were pills found near the bed.”
Yurizan left a cryptic two-word message just hours before her death in December 2017 which read: “Bye Felicia.”
The phrase is from the film Friday and is “the phrase to get anyone out of your face” according to Ice Cube, who starred in the film and co-wrote the script of the 1995 comedy.
In July, Yuri had posted a harrowing message about death on Twitter saying: “I hope to arrive at my death late, in love and a little drunk.”
Yurizan was part of the PornStar Platinum network for performers.
Dan Hogue, director of business development for PornStar Platinum paid tribute to her.
“It is with a heavy heart I write this,” he said.
“The entire PornStar Platinum family is in mourning at the news of the loss of one of its family members.
“She was always kind to me and we will miss her.”
Reacting to the tragic news of her death, adult actress Lauren Sanchez tweeted: “OMG no I love her I was praying it wasn’t real, heard the sad news that she passed away.”
Porn star Catalina Cruz wrote: “A sweet soul lost. You came across very genuine and kind to me when I first met you.”
Yurizan appeared on the cover of Lowrider magazine at 18-years-old, before she went to pose for her first nude spread in Penthouse magazine.
Her death came just days after her fellow porn actress August Ames, who was found dead in nearby Camarillo, and Shyla Stylez.
The three stars were all been found dead in the space of five weeks.
Fears that young porn stars are not able to access help and support were expressed as those inside the industry call for action.
Shy Love, a friend of Yurizan, said: “Being a pornstar is a harder job them most can imagine and I wish that porn girls got way more respect for their jobs and hard work.”
You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
