The time Hilton's dog Diamond Baby went missing
Hilton is famous for her little dogs, including Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. One of her pups, Diamond Baby, tragically went missing in September 2022, and unfortunately was never found. Hilton said at the time that she had "hired a pet detective, a dog whisperer and a pet psychic" in an effort to find the dog. She and her husband, Carter Reum, were “looking into dog finding drones” to try and locate the dog at the time.
'She knows she was very loved'
Social media users offered their condolences after Harajuku Bitch's death. "23 years! Wow! She sure loved your company. sorry for your loss," one user commented under Hilton's Instagram post. Another said, "May she rest in pesce. Your message is beautiful and im shure she loved you as much as you did." While another user commented, "She went in peace knowing she was loved till the last minute! 23 years full of care and happiness, few people can say that about their four paw babies. people may call us crazy but that's why we would do it all again for them."
"It’s never easy having to say goodbye forever. How lucky you are to have had a 100% loyal companion for 23 years. Not many folks ever get anything like that. I can only wish my chihuahua mixes, @welcome_charlie_delta , can live that long too.
