Former child star Corey Haim, who passed away yesterday morning, had eight film projects in the works and was dating a new love interest before he died.

That being Daisy de la Hoya of VH1’s Daisy of Love fame.

While it’s all relative, things appeared to be looking up for Haim, who famously battled substance abuse for years. He collapsed at home early Wednesday.

His recent love took to (what else) Twitter to express her public devastation: “I’m sooooooo devastated right now,” Daisy de la Hoya Tweeted this morning.

“This is the worst day ever I can’t believe this.”

Daisy de la Hoya and Corey Haim were a thing.

“Daisy loved The Lost Boys, and she always had a crush on Corey,” a source close to de la Hoya says. “Their first official date was two weeks ago, but they’d been hanging out a little while before that. Corey invited her to the Playboy Mansion.”

“Corey Feldman came, too.”

Daisy de la Hoya apparently wanted to help Haim with his struggles. “Daisy knew Corey was doing a lot of drugs, especially prescription meds,” the source says. “She thought he was kind and talented, and she wanted to rescue him.”

“She became his confidant over the last few weeks. He opened up to her a lot. They were having a lot of fun getting to know each other and seeing what would happen. Corey told Daisy she is a beautiful person with a beautiful heart.”

We hope Corey has finally found some inner peace and wish Daisy, along with all the actor’s family and friends, nothing but the best in this tragic time.
