A "beautiful" model who was suffering from anxiety and depression tragically took her own life after struggling with her mental health, an inquest has heard.
Amy Gregory, from Pontypridd, Wales, died suddenly over the New Year to the shock of her friends and family.
The "ambitious" and popular 24-year-old worked as a glamour model with Babestation where she was known by her work alias Chloe Love.
Emergency services were called to her home in January where she was tragically pronounced dead.
Her mum Karina paid tribute to her daughter and say they will never recover from the loss.
She 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."
A fundraising page has been set up in memory for Amy in order to help her family with funeral costs as well as raising awareness for mental health charities.
More than £6,500 has already been raised.
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."
A post on her fundraising page read: "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."
