Tragic Death of Australian Model and DJ Courtney Mills Following Balcony Fall in Bali
Kuta, Bali – The Australian entertainment community is mourning the unexpected passing of Courtney Mills, a well-known model, DJ, and OnlyFans star, who died after a tragic fall from a balcony in Kuta, Bali. The incident occurred on Friday, and despite undergoing several surgeries at a local hospital, Mills succumbed to her injuries on Sunday. She was 37 years old.
Courtney Mills, originally from Melbourne, was vacationing in Bali, a place she once called home. During her trip, she was visiting her two dogs, who were in the apartment at the time of the accident. Her family members, including her older sister Kiani and mother Diane, quickly traveled to Bali to be at her bedside during this critical period.
Reflecting on their sister’s life, Kiani Mills described her sibling as a ‘bright shining star.’ In her statement to the Herald Sun, she reminisced about the remarkable adventures Courtney undertook, saying, “She was full of adventure and never said no to an opportunity. 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.”
Career and Achievements
Mills was known in the Melbourne DJ scene for her vibrant presence and talent, having performed at some of the city’s most prominent venues like Metropol, Cushion, Secret Garden, Hotel Barkley, and Motel Eve. Her dedication to music was evident, as she often viewed her DJ gigs not just as work, but as moments of freedom and joy. Recently, just days before her untimely death, Mills shared a playful video on social media, dancing in a bright pink bikini and engaging with her fans to the tune of the 90s hit “Barbie Girl.”
Her mother, Diane, described Courtney as “beautiful, big-hearted, happy and go lucky” and emphasized how she cherished every moment of her life. Courtney’s father Andrew reminisced about her free spirit and passion for music, highlighting the love they shared for both music and life’s adventure.
Although Mills had moved back to Melbourne to be closer to her family, Bali held a special place in her heart. She had experienced a series of unfortunate incidents during her previous stays, including a 2023 fall that resulted in a serious brain injury and a scooter accident in 2018 that left her and her ex-boyfriend hospitalized.
Community Reaction and Tributes
The news of Mills’ sudden passing has sent shockwaves through the community. Tributes have poured in from friends, followers, and fellow musicians who celebrated her life and contributions to the entertainment world. In one heartfelt message, a friend expressed grief, saying, “Absolutely devastated. You were such an angel and will certainly be remembered for your spark and kindness!’
The Sound Agency remarked, “Today, we mourn the loss of an incredible soul who brought joy, energy, and passion to everywhere she graced,” while renowned DJ Brandon Mangion remembered her as a “ray of sunshine” capable of lighting up any room.
Soon after, family members announced that a cremation ceremony would be held in Bali on Wednesday, a fitting tribute to a woman who considered the island her second home. Kiani Mills shared on social media, “We wish to honour her and leave a part of her here. We will then return home with her ashes, to celebrate her life, Courtney style, in Melbourne.”
Support for the Family
The Australian government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), confirmed that they are providing support to the family during this challenging time, offering their condolences for their loss.
Courtney Mills will be remembered as a vibrant presence, both on and off the stage, whose spirit and energy touched many lives. Her passing serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing our loved ones.
