A glamour model described as “strong willed and ambitious” died after struggling with anxiety, an inquest heard.
Amy Gregory - who used the name Chloe Love in her work - was well liked by her colleagues at adult channel Babestation.
But Amy, 24, was found dead at home after a history of anxiety in a New Year tragedy.
Her friends set up a fundraising page in her memory following her death as they paid tribute to the "witty, smart, and beautiful young woman."
Amy had a history of depression
Coroner Patricia Morgan said: "Amy Louise Gregory, aged 24, had a history of suffering from anxiety and depression.
"On 2 January 2022, Amy was discovered at her home. She was declared deceased at the scene."
The coroner at Pontypridd recorded a conclusion of suicide at her home in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
Her mum Karina paid tribute to her daughter following her death and said: "Amy was a smart, ambitious, witty young woman with a gentle heart and a lovely laugh.
"At 24 Amy had experienced more than most at her age. She was a resilient, strong, and beautiful girl who had overcome a lot of struggles and made the most of her short life.
"Her family will miss her dearly. We will miss her laugh, her perfect smile, her cheek, her humour, and her bubbly personality.
"Although we will never get over losing Amy we will carry on together and keep her memory alive in our home and in our hearts.
"We hope that wherever Amy is now she feels at home, safe, loved, healed, and free."
The fundraising page set up by Maria Grace raised over £6,500.
A post on the page said: "Amy was a witty, smart, and beautiful young woman and she was very loved by her family and friends.
"She was strong-willed, ambitious, and resilient. Her laugh was loud, her smile was wide, and her heart was big. She loved animals and she doted on her two fur-babies Bennie and Blanca.
"Amy worked as a glamour model and she was a much-loved colleague to her work family at Babestation TV where she was known affectionately as her work alias Chloe Love.
"Chloe had many fans and people who cared for her and her bubbly personality brought a lot of light to what can often be a dark industry.
"Unfortunately that light wasn’t always bright enough to shine for Amy all the time and she often struggled with bouts of deep depression."
