Adult film star Dakota Skye was discovered dead in Los Angeles, a family member confirmed.

Skye, whose real name was Lauren Scott, came from a family with a history of addiction, her aunt claimed in an interview.

"She died almost exactly two years after her mother, my baby sister's, death which was caused by addiction and alcoholism," Linda Arden told The Sun.

"Lauren was a product of a highly dysfunctional family involving drugs, alcohol, physical, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse," the aunt added.

An official at the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to Fox News that they are currently investigating the death of a woman named Lauren Scott who died on June 9. She was 27 and listed as "homeless," the office said.

An autopsy was conducted two days ago but the cause and manner of her death has been deferred pending "further investigation," the official said.

Skye came under fire in the weeks leading up to her death for a photo she posted to Instagram showing her flashing her breasts to the camera while standing in front of a George Floyd mural, according to the report.
