She was filming a stunt session on Bolshaya Dorogomilovskaya Street in Moscow, Russia, when tragedy struck.
A video shows the moment the biker crashes into the victim as she crouches in the road taking snaps.
Earlier that day, Ksenia announced she was filming motorcyclists performing stunts on her Instagram page.
The multi-talented performer, best known for starring in the music video for War Girl by rap duo HammAli & Navai, was behind the camera when the biker performed a wheelie and lost control.
The 34-year-old man, named in reports as Maxim Zaviryukha, was thrown from his bike and collided with a car.
Ksenia suffered severe head trauma and multiple fractures.
Paramedics fought to save her at the scene but she died in the ambulance on the way to hospital.
Maxim sustained minor injuries including bruises to his shoulder and arm plus a sprained ankle, but refused hospital treatment.
Moscow police detained him at the scene and opened a criminal case under part three of Article 264 of the Russian Criminal Code – violation of traffic rules causing death by negligence.
He faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
On 7 May, a Moscow court placed him under house arrest until 5 July.
He reportedly told investigators that the collision was unintentional and that he was friends with the victim.
He also expressed his intention to support her family financially.
The incident happened in full view of dozens of onlookers, including the victim’s young daughter.
Fragments of the victim’s camera were reportedly left scattered on the asphalt.
Ksenia was also an enthusiastic motorcyclist and photographer who regularly documented biker events.
She had survived a previous motorcycle crash in 2023 that left her with a fractured radius, as reported by Need To Know.
She was also a well-known performer who had served in the Moscow Moon Theatre and the Theatre of Musical.
Rapper Navai, whose video featured the actress, publicly offered his condolences following the tragedy.
Investigators are continuing to examine the exact speed, visibility and road conditions at the time of the accident.
