OnlyFans model Christina Ashten Gourkani, best known for her striking resemblance to Kim Kardashian, died of cardiac arrest after receiving plastic surgery, according to reports. She was 34.
Gourkani, also known as Ashten G on the internet, died in the hospital last week while recovering from a previous procedure. According to TMZ, it was cosmetic in nature, but her parents have declined to comment outside of a GoFundMe created to raise money for her funeral.
Her loved ones received a phone call early the morning of April 20 from a “family member who was frantically screaming and crying hysterically on the other end of the line….Ashten is dying…Ashten is dying,” according to the GoFundMe.
When they arrived at the hospital around 5 a.m., they learned the model’s health was rapidly deteriorating after she suffered a massive heart attack.
“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,” her family wrote on the page.
Her death “is currently being investigated as a homicide related to a medical procedure that took a turn for the worse,” they added.
Loved ones remembered Gourkani as a “caring and loving free spirit” who “always took the time to bring a smile to anyone’s face she crossed paths with.”
“She was the kind of person that would kneel down and talk to children at eye level, she searched for the lonely person in the corner and made them feel special as she has such a gift of connecting with people,” the statement continued. “On many occasions, I’ve seen her turn her adversaries into life-long friends just after 10 seconds of pouring her charismatic joy, positive energy and her beautiful smile that she gave to those around her.”
In addition to the OnlyFans fame, Gourkani, who was based in California, shared many of her modeling snaps to Instagram. She had nearly 620,000 followers at the time of her passing.
Her funeral is scheduled for May 3.
