Danniella Westbrook has told fans she feels "empty" as she announced the death of her dog Bruno, who she rescued last month.
The heartbroken actress took to Twitter to share the sad news and a photo of the pooch with her 228,000 followers.
Posting a sweet photo of her bulldog, the ex soap star added the caption: "Devastated at losing my Bruno last night … feel so empty and sad he was such a lovely old boy.
"Rest in peace my Bruno Bear, you was such a good boy, full love right till the end, will miss you so so much," she added.
Fans flocked to comfort her, with one writing: "Oh no how devastating for you I’m so sorry."
Danniella, 48, replied: "I’m so devastated he was my little mate such good company x miss him so much x"
The former EastEnders actress only collected Bruno from a Bulldog Rehoming charity in March.
She said at the time: "My new baby … meet 12 year old Bruno his the latest edition to my family . I rescued him from the amazing charity @bulldog_rescue_and_rehoming_uk his (sic) 12 years old and I adore him of (sic) your thinking of getting a dog please rescue."
The loss comes just after Danniella went under the knife for surgery on her nose.
Danniella told how she planned to have part of her rib inserted into her face to help to rebuild her crumbling cheekbone.
Revealing how the op had been inspired by cruel trolls, she told The Sun: "People message me, saying, ‘You’re so ugly, you’re a junkie, you should just go and kill yourself’.
"I’ve also had messages saying they are glad I’m not coming back to EastEnders because no one wants me scaring their kids on the telly.
“Sometimes I wake up and think ‘I don’t want to die today but I don’t want to face the world either’."
She is believed to have blown £250,000 on drugs and one of her binges saw her allegedly snort veterinary drug levamisole.
This is used to de-worm cattle, pigs and sheep and causes human flesh to and bones to break down and rot.

Danniella is helping to set up a holistic wellness centre in North Yorkshire after wanting to escape the Essex lifestyle.
She said the area was "champagne taste and lemonade money", adding that many of the flash cars are on hire purchase.
The actress said that she felt the people she lives near now in Yorkshire are more "genuine", and the focus isn't on appearances and money.
