Gay Porn Star Kyle Ross Killed In Florida Car Accident
Str8Up is shocked and very sorry to report that gay porn star Kyle Ross has died following a tragic car accident last weekend. He was just 29 years old.
The news was confirmed Tuesday night by Helix Studios, where Kyle Ross launched and maintained his career since 2011.
After a string of award wins, over 100 scenes, and even a biographical novel written about him, Ross retired from performing in 2020, and just last month, he announced that he’d retired from his corporate position at Helix.
Ross had been traveling through Florida last week and posted several video tweets showing an argument he had at an American Airlines terminal after a gate agent refused to allow him on board his flight for reasons that were unclear. Ross appeared distraught in more videos that he posted on Sunday morning, in which he shared that he’d slept in his rental car while awaiting another flight. As of tonight, it’s not known if his fatal car accident was in Florida or back in San Diego, California, where he was attempting to travel to from Miami.
Update: Str8Up has learned that the crash was in fact in Florida. Making this all the more heartbreaking, Ross’s dog, Hank, also died in the crash, which I’m told was “very bad.”
Kyle Ross is the second death of a Helix porn star in as many weeks, as performer Casey Tanner died earlier this month following a long illness.
Tributes to Kyle Ross—arguably the most well-known and prolific Helix model of all time, having been with the studio for over 12 years—have been coming in since the news was announced, and here are some of them below, including one from Ross’ former longtime boyfriend and best friend, Max Carter. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
