Daisy De La Hoya, who posted “inconsolable” tweets after learning of Corey Haim‘s death, has come forward to say she and late actor had struck up a relationship little over a month before his death yesterday. “Corey was looking forward to the future, he was making plans,” she told Radar. “He had a movie coming up and he was talking about directing, I can’t believe he would of done this on purpose, it had to be an accident.” The pair were introduced by none other than Corey Feldman. “[He] had been saying to me for ages that I had to meet Corey Haim, he said we were totally kindred spirits and that we would really hit it off…Eventually we did meet and he was right.”

According to E! News, the pair went on their first “official date” only two weeks ago. “Daisy loved The Lost Boys, and she always had a crush on Corey,” says their source. “They weren’t in an exclusive relationship, but 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.” “It’s such a tragedy, he was so talented and had so much to offer,” said De La Hoya. “He was a sweet, caring, respectful person who just wanted to be loved.”
