Porn star Emily Willis’ family asks for donations to help fund mounting medical bills after she overdosed at rehab facility and was rushed to an ICU

The family of porn star Emily Willis is asking for donations to help pay her mounting medical bills after a drug overdose last month.

Willis was rushed from a popular celebrity rehabilitation center in Malibu to a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, California, on February 5 after authorities received a call about the 25-year-old, who was unresponsive.

Willis stayed at the facility to be treated for addiction, although it is unclear for what exactly and for how long.

Her family has one GoFundMe to help pay for her hospital stay and recovery, which has raised $13,500.

“With hearts heavier than we ever thought possible, we seek support and care for our beloved Emily Willis – a beloved daughter, sister and a beacon of light in the lives of all who knew her,” her family wrote online. .

“Recently, Emily’s world, and ours, was turned upside down when she was admitted to hospital, marking the beginning of an incredibly difficult and unforeseen battle. With all her remarkable strength and courage, Emily fights.

‘The path to recovery stretches far ahead of her and requires a lot of care. The weight of this position extends beyond the emotional and physical; it is weighing on us financially,” the family explained. “With rising medical bills and the need for travel, while the regular flow of living expenses continues.

“Every donation, regardless of size, goes directly toward easing these burdens, allowing us to focus our energy and resources on Emily’s healing. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers to give her the strength for recovery,” the family pleaded.

Her father told her TMZ his daughter is fighting ‘an incredibly difficult and unforeseen battle’ with a long road to recovery ahead of her.

The donations will go towards medical bills and travel and accommodation expenses for her family so they can stay with her in the hospital.

The Argentina star, who made a name for herself in the industry in 2017, had not posted on either post Instagram or TikTok in more than five months.

Willis has starred in several videos and collaborated with popular porn brands such as Reality Kings and Evil Angel.

She has also been featured in Penthouse Magazine, won awards at the Adult Video News Awards, and has appeared in music videos and modeling campaigns.

According to IMDB, Willis has been nominated 15 times and has a 2024 nomination for the Adult Video Awards for “Favorite Porn Star Creator.”

In recent years, she has also become close to well-known social media stars such as David Dobrik, and has been featured in his YouTube videos.

In 2021, Willis filed a defamation lawsuit against other porn stars, claiming they attacked her on social media.

She filed a $5 million lawsuit against her porn industry rivals Gianna Dior and Adria Rae.

Willis alleged that the two women falsely accused her in a tweet of participating in a social media video that showed sex with an animal.

“There was a lot of rumor, speculation and innuendo about the identities of the artists within the industry, including on social media,” Willis’ complaint said.

‘It was a scandal, and a very striking one, with clear potential to destroy careers.’

The lawsuit was settled privately in 2022, with Rae issued a warrant an apology after the settlement was reached.

“At the time of my tweet, I was relying on other information I had seen from other sources,” she wrote in a statement.

‘I’ve since found out Emily wasn’t involved. Personally, I am not aware of any action Emily has taken regarding animals involving sexual activity,” she added.

Rae confirmed in her statement that she had indeed apologized to Willis and that things have apparently been going well between the three women since then.

In one of her most recent posts on Instagram, Willis promoted a new sci-fi thriller film called Divinity, which was released last October.

In the film she played a ‘seductive woman’ alongside ‘two mysterious brothers’.

The sci-fi film grossed over $100,000 at the box office and also features Disney Channel alumni Moises Arias and Bella Thorne.

Willis was born Litzy Lara Banulos in Argentina on December 29, 1998. She moved to Utah when she was seven after her mother married a man from the US.

The adult film star grew up in a Mormon family and learned the teachings of the Latter-day Saints Movement.

She later moved to California as a teenager and made her adult film debut with GDP Studio in 2017.

Since her debut in 2017, Willis has appeared in more than 700 films throughout her career.

She has collaborated with porn brands like Reality King and Evil Angel, and was even featured in Penthouse Magazine.

Willis has also won several awards for her work, including Female Performer of The Year at the 2021 AVN Awards, known as the Oscars for Porn.

She has also participated in several online interviews and she even spoke about her parents’ reaction to her porn career on a 2021 episode of PlugTalk.

“They thought it would be a one-time thing and I would be done,” Willis said. ‘It was tough at first. They haven’t spoken to me for about two months.’

Willis later confirmed that her parents could tell she was responsible and not “partying or crazy.”

“They started opening up to me again and now we’re super close,” Willis said.
