Following the devastating news, people have taken to social media to pay tribute to the adult performer.
One person close to Jane writes: “Wow, what cruel and tragic timing on the first day of AVN 2024!! To have found out that a living legend, one of [the] sweetest and s**iest women to ever do p***, THE Jesse Jane RIP.
“I’m proud and thankful I knew her for 15 years and she was always so kind and loving to me.”

The adult star was found dead at her home in Moore, Oklahoma, after police reportedly went to her residence for a welfare check, according to TMZ.
The outlet reports that officers discovered both Jane and her boyfriend, Brett Hasenmueller, deceased.
The welfare check was allegedly requested by Hasenmueller’s employer – who hadn’t heard from him in a few days.
It is unclear how long exactly Jane and Hasenmueller were deceased at the property.
At the time of writing, an exact cause of death has yet to be disclosed but sources have reportedly told TMZ they believe it to be drug-related.
An investigation is underway, and the medical examiner will make a final determination.
