Hotel heiress Paris Hilton made her Chihuahuas her trademark early on — now the hotel heiress is mourning the loss of one of her four-legged friends. At the age of 23, the dog named Harajuku Bitch died. "The pain I feel is indescribable," Hilton writes on Instagram. "My heart is breaking."

The post goes on to say that the Chihuahua wasn't just a pet. "She was a member of the family to me, a loyal friend who was always by my side." The dog has brightened even her darkest days, writes the 42-year-old. »We share so many memories, joys and tears.«

She will miss Harajuku Bitch "forever," Hilton writes. The prints of your paws on my life will never fade."

In 2015, Hilton's Chihuahua Tinkerbell, whom she had always carried around iconically in her purse, had died. At the time, Hilton was still immortalizing her grief on Facebook.

Earlier this year, Paris Hilton became the mother of a son via surrogacy. "His name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum," the fashion designer announced. Pictures show her together with her husband, Carter Reum, and the sleeping baby in her arms. She had made the birth of her child public with emotional words – on Instagram.
