According to Adult Video News, police were called to Please’s home in Nevada on Monday after she had not been heard from in almost five days. The outlet reported that law enforcement officers found no signs of foul play or violence at the property.

Aspen Brooks, another adult film star and one of Please’s neighbors, led tributes to her, sharing photos and a message on Twitter.

“I’m at a loss for words,” Brooks wrote. “Went to go check up on my friend after she had been missing, only to find out we lost an amazing person.”

“One of my best friends,” she added. “My neighbor. The person I would gossip with about everything. She was just 24 years old RIP baby girl.”

Please, who was originally from Chicago, had risen to popularity as a transgender performer in adult movies and had more than 28,000 followers on Instagram.

Steven Grooby, owner of Grooby Productions—which specializes in transgender adult entertainment—told Adult Video News: “It’s just the most awful news to hear. I heard she was missing when her friend, Aspen, posted about it, but hearing that she’d passed is devastating.

“Angelina was 24 and in the prime of her life, a popular and professional performer. I want to pass on my love and respect to her family and friends. It’s difficult to have the words.”

Newsweek has contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County Medical Examiner for comment.

Grooby producer and director Buddy Wood said: “I was literally just working with her two weeks ago and she was great, and super excited to go to the TEA awards [Transgender Erotica Awards] this weekend.

“I’m shocked to hear this. She was great, a really fun, nice girl and very professional. So sorry to hear it.”

Adult film performer Casey Kisses told Adult Video News that she had directed Please, who entered the industry in 2019, in a scene just two weeks ago.

“Angelina offered to come by early and help us set everything up,” Kisses said. “That’s the type of person she was. She seemed fine that day. She was her normal, cheery self.”

Kisses went on. “She pulled the scene together, and she took these stunning photos… I just can’t stop thinking about those photos we took. She was the highlight of the scene.”

“She was a good friend,” Kisses added of Please. “She was my favorite trans person in the industry; she was someone I really loved being around. I’m just having a tough time accepting that this is happening. I just can’t believe it.”

A GoFundMe page was set up on Wednesday to cover costs of a hometown funeral for Please, whose real name was Francesca Montalbano.

Please’s devastated sibling, Taylon Montalbano, wrote on the page that “this is something I never imagined having to do for my baby sister. Francesca was loved by so many, so special in a million different ways and showed so much promise. She would go above and beyond to help the people she loved.

“Now her and her family are asking for your help. My parents would like to bring her body home to Chicago, where my father has given up his plot to lay my sister next to her grandparents.”

More than $14,000 of the $20,000 goal has been raised in the hours since the fundraising campaign was launched.

Montalbano wrote in a follow-up caption: “My parents and I are speechless at the outpouring of love everyone has shared of Francesca. My father, a 71 year old Vietnam Veteran who does not quite understand technology and what the $ amount means was brought to tears when I told him ‘That’s how many people loved your daughter.’

“He has been shown hope through these donations. As her father he wants to make sure his daughter is taken care of.. My mother, the woman who helped shape Francesca into the beautiful woman you all loved has also been blown away.

“If we learned one thing it is that Francesca was loved, by not just us but everyone. We never experienced such a profound loss.. and never a loss that reaches out so far and wide like my sister’s has.

“From the Montalbano family we sincerely, deeply, thank you all for your support. Francesca was an incredible daughter, sister and friend. We are not alone saying how much she will be missed.”
