A teenage model tragically fell to her death after making a promo video for a parasailing firm at a holiday hotspot.

Tijana Radonjic, from Serbia, was said to have been hired by a company to make a parasailing video in Montenegro on 28 May.

The film was supposed to show the 19-year-old soar over the Budva Riviera on a parasail connected to a speed boat.

Actual footage, however, shows Tijana unfastening her safety harness mid-air during a reported 'panic attack'.

At around 150 feet, she toppled upside down and fell head first into the sea after witnesses claimed to hear her scream: "Put me down! Put me down!"

Paramedics attended to the scene and said Tijana was dead when they removed her body from the water.

Mirko Krdzic, the owner of the parasailing company, said: "I am sorry for the death of the young girl. I hope to meet her parents to express my condolences in person.

"We are all in shock after the accident that happened."

He added: "I do not know exactly what happened. She did not show any fear of flying, she underwent training, after which the tragedy followed.

The Daily Mail reports that her parents, Branka and Goran, shared a heartbreaking message ahead of her funeral.

"We will never come to terms with this, nor accept that you are gone," they said. "You will remain in our hearts forever. Our bravest we love you endlessly and will be missed forever.

"Rest in peace and may the angels watch over you. Now you are one of them."

According to Republika, Tijana was with her aunt on holiday when the incident took place.

"I can't believe I'm writing this. We should now be thinking about what bathing suits to bring, where to drink coffee while the baby sleeps, what song to sing in the car," she said in a tribute online.

"We should have enjoyed the sun and you said to me, 'Go, rest, I'll take care of the baby now'. We should have celebrated graduation, not sent you off.

"I can still hear your laugh. I can still see how you hold my son and how you talk to him, how you laugh while he laughs."

And another relative said: "She was full of life, always smiling. She never cared about what others thought of her."
