To prevent her sanctuary in Atlixco, near Mexico City, from going bankrupt, she even signed up for OnlyFans. She said at the time that she had resorted to the adult platform to prevent the sanctuary from closing as she was having financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reported The Sun.
In a touching ode to the late activist, state governor Sergio Salomon praised the tremendous impact of her work. He said, "I deeply regret the death of Elena Larrea, a tireless fighter for the defence of animal welfare. Her rescue of thousands of abused horses is testimony to her life and work."

He further added, "On behalf of the Puebla Government, we would like to express our solidarity to her family and friends. With the Ministry of the Environment, we can guarantee the protection of the animals at Cuacolandia. We will provide all the necessary help so other horses are cared for by the authorities as well as those already rescued, prioritising their wellbeing at all times. We will follow your example. Rest in peace, Elena."
