A 'strong willed and ambitious' glamour model killed herself after a long struggle with anxiety, an inquest has heard. Amy Gregory, known as Chloe Love in her work, worked at the adult TV channel Babestation and was found dead at home at the start of this year.
Her friends have since set up a fundraising page to the 24-year-old, paying tribute to the "witty, smart, and beautiful young woman". A coroner at the inquest described that Amy had struggled for a long period with anxiety and depression.
Following her death, Amy's mum, Karina, paid a heartbreaking tribute to her. "Amy was a smart, ambitious, witty young woman with a gentle heart and a lovely laugh," she said.

"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."
Amy was found at her home on January 2 this year in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. Coroner Patricia Morgan at Pontypridd Coroners' Court recorded a conclusion of suicide.
A fundraising page set up after her death has since raised more than £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."
