“I’m heartbroken 💔,“ Camille wrote. “My dear pup Joey crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. I can’t believe he’s gone. He was the best dog I have ever had. We said goodbye to him this morning. He was over 15 years old and always there for me and the kids. He leaves an empty space in our hearts and our home. I will miss him snuggled up next to me. 💔.”

Several fellow Real Housewives stars posted condolence messages for Camille.

“😽💔 🌈 such sweet memories,” RHOBH star Sutton Stracke of the photos of Camille and her dog.

Camille went through a scary situation with Joey. In 2018, she rescued him from the Woolsey fires that tore through Southern California. Camille told People magazine she was forced to evacuate her home in Malibu when she saw flames coming from the canyon behind her neighborhood. The Bravo alum packed her cars as fast as she could and evacuated with her husband, her daughter, as well as their dog Joey. Her home ultimately burnt down, and the aftermath appeared on an episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Camille is known for her love for dogs. She also welcomed a new puppy, another Havanese, into her family in 2021. At the time, she posted to Instagram to announce her new addition to her followers. “Meet our new fur baby, Jacque,” she captioned photos of her and her husband, David C. Meyer, with their new addition. “He arrive[d] today and we are already in love with this little guy.”

In the past, Camille attended Lisa Vanderpump’s World Dog Day event.  She also told Chewy that at one time she owned seven dogs with her ex-husband, actor Kelsey Grammer. Of her Havanese named Romeo Joe she said, “He doesn’t get groomed all the time and he doesn’t wear rhinestones around his neck, but he’s pretty spoiled. He has a great life.”
