In a heartbreaking turn of events, Kseniya Alexandrova, known for her grace and talent on the Miss Universe stage, has passed away at the age of 30. The Russian beauty queen was the first runner-up at the Miss Russia 2017 pageant and proudly represented her country at Miss Universe that same year. Her life was cut short due to a tragic car accident in Tver Oblast, Russia, leaving her fans and loved ones devastated.
According to reports from RG via Hola!, the accident occurred in July when Kseniya and her husband, Ilya, were driving through Tver Oblast. Kseniya was in the passenger seat of their Porsche Panamera when a large elk suddenly crossed their path, crashing into the vehicle. The impact was severe, causing the animal to smash through the windshield and inflict critical head injuries on Kseniya. Her husband, Ilya, also suffered injuries in the crash but survived.
The tragic accident left Kseniya in a coma, from which she never recovered. Despite being transported to the Sklifosovsky Institute for Emergency Medicine, she showed no signs of improvement and sadly passed away on August 12. Her modeling agency, Modus Vivendis, confirmed the heart-rending news on Instagram, sharing a poignant tribute to her remarkable spirit and warmth. "Ksenia was bright, talented, and extraordinarily bright. She knew how to inspire, support, and give warmth to everyone around her," the statement read.
“It is with deep sorrow that we announce that our colleague and friend, model Ksenia Alexandrova, passed away last night.”
The Miss Universe Organization also paid homage to Kseniya, highlighting her unforgettable presence and the impact she made within their community. They shared touching clips of her pageant highlights on Instagram, expressing their deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her.
Kseniya's untimely passing has left a void in the hearts of many.

Though her time was brief, Kseniya's influence and memory continue to inspire kindness, strength, and love among those she touched.
In another tragic note, Kseniya and her husband had been married for just four months before the accident. As her family and friends navigate this unimaginable loss, the heartfelt tributes pouring in serve as a testament to her lasting impact. Rest in peace, Kseniya Alexandrova.
