A popular DJ and OnlyFans star has died after a tragic accident while holidaying in Bali.
Courtney Mills, 37, was visiting her two dogs in Bali when she fell from an balcony at the unit complex she was staying in Kuta on Friday.
She suffered critical injuries and was rushed to hospital, where she underwent several emergency operations before she died surrounded by her family two days later.
Ms Mills spent several years living in Bali, which she regarded as her second home before returning to Melbourne and moved back in with her family.
Tragedy struck less than two years after she fell down a flight of stairs in Bali in 2023, which resulted in bleeding on the brain.
Ms Mills was also involved in a scooter crash which badly injured her ex-boyfriend while in Bali for a wedding in 2018.
Her shattered family have broken their silence to pay tribute to a free spirit who never said no to an adventure or opportunity.
The much-loved DJ spun tunes at some of Melbourne’s biggest nightspots, including Metropol, Cushion, Secret Garden, Hotel Barkley and Motel Eve before launching an international career.

‘She was beautiful, big hearted, happy and go lucky,’ her mum Diane Mayne told Nine News as she fought back tears.
‘She lived life to the fullest.’
Ms Mills’ sister Kiani added that her death has been ruled as an accident.
It’s just the grief and mourning of a life that’s been lost way too early,’ she said.
Kiani told the Herald Sun: ‘The most beautiful thing we have been able to do for the last couple of days is sit and reminisce about the incredible life that she lived and how full her life was.’
‘She would drive hours and hours just to DJ for one hour.
‘She would fly across the country to do the job she loved so passionately and to her it wasn’t a job, it was a life.
‘Being behind those decks was her sense of freedom and we got to see her light up rooms.”
Just five days before she died, Ms Mills posted a clip of herself wearing a bright pink bikini dancing to 1990s hit Barbie Girl and blowing a kiss to her fans.
