Paris Hilton Paid Tribute to Her Longtime Pup on Instagram
In an Instagram post, Hilton, 42, shared a series of photos of her beloved chihuahua, who had been her companion since she was 19 years old. In one photo, Hilton holds the pampered pup and protects them with an umbrella. In another pic, the dog is surrounded with faux designer toys by “Jimmy Chew” and “Pawda.” In another photo Harajuku hangs out the front seat window of a hot pink car with a puppy pal.
In the caption, the mom of one revealed that her heart was broken as she said goodbye to her precious dog following her “final peaceful slumber.”
“For an incredible 23 years, she filled my life with so much love, loyalty, and unforgettable moments,” Hilton wrote. “Words cannot express the immense pain I’m feeling right now.🥺 She was more than just a pet; she was family to me, a loyal friend who was always by my side through every twist and turn life brought my way.”
Hilton received many supportive comments from fans and friends. In a comment, the celebrity DJ told fans, “I am in so much pain that I am in shock. I had her so long, I can’t believe that she’s gone.💔 first Dino baby missing and now this, I’m just so devastated.”
Paris Hilton’s Dog Diamond Baby Went Missing in September 2022
Hilton has long been known for her love of animals. One of her chihuahuas, Tinkerbell, was regularly featured on her reality show, “The Simple Life,” which ran from 2003 to 2007.
W magazine reported in 2017 that Hilton had five dogs: Diamond Baby, Harajuku B****, Princess Paris Jr., Prince, and Prince Baby Bear, as well as cats, a miniature pig, a pony and rabbits.
But in September 2022, Hilton posted devastating news about Diamond Baby. In an Instagram post, she shared a “Missing” flyer to reveal that her dog disappeared after she believes a mover left a door open. “We have hired a pet detective, a dog whisperer, a pet psychic, and looking into dog finding drones now. I’m doing everything in my power to get her back,” she wrote at the time.
Hilton asked the public to help her find her dog and offered a reward, but as of this writing the dog has still not been found eight months later.
According to The Daily Mail, three months after Diamond Baby’s disappearance, Hilton welcomed a Bengal cat into her home menagerie. She named the cat Cutesy and features her on social media alongside the many other pets.
Hilton has had an extremely busy year that’s been full of ups and downs. In addition to the loss of two of her pets, she released “Paris: The Memoir” in March. And in January 2023, she secretly welcomed her first child, a son she named Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, via surrogate.
