Final post of model & DJ Courtney Mills, 37, who died on Bali holiday after falling from balcony in horror plunge
AN AUSTRALIAN DJ and OnlyFans model who fell to her death from a balcony shared an eerie final social media post days before the accident.
Courtney Mills, 37, was visiting her two dogs in Bali when she fell from a balcony at an apartment complex in the southern resort of Kuta on Friday.
She suffered critical injuries and was rushed to hospital to undergo several emergency operations while on life support.
Tragically, she could not be saved from her grave injuries and she died surrounded by loved ones two days later.
Now it has emerged that Courtney’s last post to her Instagram page, just five days before her death, showed her dancing right next to a balcony railing.
Wearing a pink bikini, she dances to Aqua’s 1990s hit Barbie Girl and blows a kiss to her followers whilst partly leaning backwards over a balcony fence.
Her eerie final post has been flooded with tributes from friends and followers.
One wrote: “Can’t believe the news still. A talented DJ and individual gone way too soon. RIP Courtney.”
Another said: “She seemed so happy. Sad news and at such a young age.”
The post resurfaced after it emerged Courtney narrowly escaped death on two separate occasions on the island in the years before Friday’s fatal plunge.
Courtney fell down a flight of stairs in Bali in 2023, hitting her head so badly it caused a bleed on her brain.
And in 2018 Courtney was involved in a scooter crash whilst in Bali for a wedding which badly injured her ex-boyfriend.
Courtney has been cremated in Bali and her ashes will be scattered in Melbourne on Wednesday.
The DJ’s older sister Kiana and mum Diane flew out to the Indonesian island to be by her side in the final moments.
In an Instagram post, Kiana said her sister had been placed on life support and underwent multiple operations, but tragically could not be saved from her grave injuries.
Kiana said: “It is with such a heavy heart that we share the news of Courtney’s passing.”
The grieving sister added: “Mum and I arrived in Bali Saturday and were with her by her side right until the end.”
Courtney regarded Bali as her “second home” after living on the island for several years before returning to Melbourne to move back in with her parents.
Courtney was a much-loved DJ around Melbourne and played at some of the city’s nightlife hot spots including Metropol, Cushion, Secret Garden, Hotel Barkley and Motel Eve, before launching an international career.
Her shattered family have spoken out to pay tribute to a free and adventurous spirit.
Her mum Diane Mayne told Nine News: “She was beautiful, big-hearted, and happy-go-lucky.”
“She lived life to the fullest,” the devastated mum added.
Courtney’s sister Kiani said that her death has been ruled as an accident.
She told the Herald Sun: “It’s just the grief and mourning of a life that’s been lost way too early.”
“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.
Kiani added: “Being behind those decks was her sense of freedom and we got to see her light up rooms.”
There has been an outpouring of grief and tributes from friends and entertainment figures after the news of Courtney’s death broke.
One person wrote: “Absolutely devastated. You were such an angel and will certainly be remembered for your spark and kindness!”
Talent agency That Sound said: “Today, we mourn the loss of an incredible soul who brought joy, energy, and passion to everywhere she graced.
“Courtney Mills was not just a brilliant DJ – she was the heartbeat of every party, a vibrant spirit who connected us all.
“We are grateful for the moments we shared and the memories we created together.
“Rest in peace, your light will never fade.”
Fellow DJ Brandon Mangion described her as a ray of sunshine who lit up every room but said it was her compassion that set her apart from everyone else.
He told Nine News: “The last message I got from Courtney was ‘I’m here for you.’
“Reading that yesterday broke my heart,” he added.
Her sister Kiani wrote online: “This place [Bali] was her second home, so 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.”
Courtney had 151,000 followers on Instagram and 25,000 followers on Soundcloud.
