A Kim Kardashian lookalike and OnlyFans star, Christina Ashten Gourkani, has died after suffering a cardiac arrest following a plastic surgery procedure, according to her family.

The 34-year-old, adult content creator, who sold her X-rated pictures to subscribers on the platform under the name of Ashten, died in hospital on Thursday (April 20) after suffering a cardiac arrest following what has been reported to have been a botched plastic surgery operation.

Her family, who have since set up a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise US$40,000 for funeral costs, said in a statement: “It is with deep sorrow and an immensely heavy broken heart that we have to share the most shattering, unfortunate and unexpected passing of our beautiful beloved daughter and sister Christina Ashten Gourkani.”

The author of the statement on GoFundMe recalls receiving a phone call from another family member, at approximately 4:30 a.m. last Thursday, who was “frantically screaming and crying” that Gourkani was dying — a call that they said “instantly shattered our world and will forever haunt our family for the rest of our lives.”

In the statement, they continued to talk about the “living nightmare” of being in the hospital and learning that Gourkani’s health was quickly deteriorating after a massive heart attack.

“Her sudden and tragic passing is currently being investigated as a homicide related to medical procedure that took a turn for the worse,” the family said.

As of Wednesday evening (April 26), US$4,281 has been raised out of the US$40,000 fundraising goal.

The model, who is based in California, often posted her pictures on her Instagram, where she has over 621,000 followers.

Fellow OnlyFans model Mary Magdalene paid tribute to Gourkani on her Instagram Story, writing, “I don’t know her, but I would always just randomly see her on Instagram and think she was really pretty but that is so sad she just died from plastic surgery.”

“It is so scary because you really just never know when you’re going to die from risky surgery,” she continued, sharing that she gets scared every time she gets a procedure done.
