LOS ANGELES—Veteran adult star Yurizan Beltran was found dead this morning, friends confirmed Wednesday night. She was 31.
Beltran died of an apparent drug overdose, according to Nickey Milo, who knew her since 2004 and worked closely with her on two websites for Pornstar Platinum, including most recently YuriLuv.com. She was discovered by the owner of the house where she was living in Bellflower, Milo said. There were pills found near the bed, he added.
A native of Long Beach, Calif., who worked at Hooters before porn, Beltran performed in more than 200 titles since making her adult industry debut in 2005. In recent years she was in and out of the adult business with under 20 performing credits since 2015, but Beltran remained active and in-demand on the national feature dancing circuit where she was a popular headliner.
Beltran’s body of work included multiple performances for BangBros, Brazzers, Digital Playground, Evil Angel, Hustler, Girlfriends Films, New Sensations, Digital Sin and many more. She also was featured in pictorials for Penthouse magazine. For the first five years of her career the exotic beauty—her ethnic background was a mix of French Canadian and Brazilian—performed only in girl/girl scenes. Her first boy/girl coupling came in 2010 for Digital Playground. – Source
