Paris Hilton’s chihuahua Tinkerbell has passed on to the Louis Vuitton tote in the great beyond.
The hotel heiress’s canine friend died at the ripe doggie age of 14, Hilton announced in Facebook and Instagram posts Tuesday afternoon. The pooch, part of her rumored cadre of some 17 or more four-legged friends, first greeted the public with her socialite master on “The Simple Life” reality TV show and was Hilton’s “sweet angel,” she said on Instagram.
“My heart is broken,” Hilton, 34, wrote on social media. “I am so sad & devastated. After 14 amazing years together my baby Tinkerbell has passed away of old age. I feel like I’ve lost a member of my family.”
“She was such a special & incredible soul. We went through so much together. I can’t believe she’s gone. I will miss her & think about her for the rest of my life. I love you Tinky, you are a legend & will never be forgotten.”
The tiny dog, which Hilton often festooned in designer costumes and schlepped around with her in her many appearances, went missing briefly in 2004. Hilton pledged a $5,000 reward and the dog turned up only six days later, US Weekly reported.
