Tinkerbell’s owner, Paris Hilton, confirmed the news via social media Tuesday, writing, “After 14 amazing years together my baby Tinkerbell has passed away of old age.” From Instagram:

My heart is broken💔 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. 👑🐺👑 #RIPTinkerbell 🙏

In addition to her reality TV appearances, Tinkerbell is known for authoring the 2004 tell-all memoir The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries: My Life Tailing Paris Hilton and for briefly disappearing in August of that same year. After her owner launched a poster campaign offering $5000 for the pup’s return, Tinkerbell and Hilton were reunited in less than a week.

As a tribute to the Chihuahua, Hilton has dedicated her Instagram account to Tinkerbell for the day. “She lived a long, beautiful, luxurious & exciting life,” writes Hilton.

Tinkerbell is reportedly survived by 17 brothers and sisters.
