Kseniya Alexandrova had a lot more life to live, but it was tragically ended in a freak accident.
Alexandrova, a Russian model and TV personality who competed in the 2017 Miss Universe competition, passed away at the young age of 30.
Alexandrova died on August 12, her modeling agency, Modus Vivendis, confirmed in an emotional Instagram post on August 13.
“Kseniya was bright, talented, and extraordinarily bright,” the agency said.

“She knew how to inspire, support, and give warmth to everyone around her. For us, she will forever remain a symbol of beauty, kindness, and inner strength.”
Russian media would later report that Kseniya Alexandrova died in a car accident while she and her husband were traveling on the M9 highway.
The couple reportedly collided head-on with a moose that had entered the road, and Alexandrova sustained a devastating blow to the head.
Alexandrova and her husband were just married in March.
Her tragic death just adds to the list of young models who have passed away in 2025.
Kseniya Alexandrova, Russia’s representative at Miss Universe 2017, tragically passed away earlier this week in a freak accident that involved a moose.
Alexandrova, who was the first runner-up of Miss Russia 2017, suffered fatal brain injuries when the large elk smashed through the windshield of her Porsche while she and her husband were driving.
Her husband survived the accident, but Kseniya remained in a coma until her death on August 15.
The Miss Universe organization has since broken its silence as it shared an Instagram post on Thursday, just days after Alexandrova’s death at age 30.
“The Miss Universe Organization extends its deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and everyone whose life was touched by the light of Miss Universe Russia 2017, Kseniya Alexandrova,” read the caption.
