TRIBUTES have been paid to Russian Instagram star ‘Monika9422’ after she was killed in a crash.

Monika9422, whose real name was Olga Pronina had built up over 150,000 followers with photos of her posing with bikes and performing stunts.

The 41-year-old hairdresser died instantly on crashing into an Armco-style barrier in the city of Vladivostok on Monday.

Several tribute videos have been posted on YouTube showing some of her stunts, including riding standing up and no-handed on her BMW S1000RR, the bike she often posed with.
