The couple confirmed the tragic news on Instagram on June 16

Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz Beckham are mourning the loss of their pet dog Nala.

On Sunday, June 16, the couple announced the sad news of their chihuahua Nala’s death on Instagram as they shared photos with their beloved pup. The pair shared that Nala died “unexpectedly” following a grooming session.

“Dear Nala, we miss you so much,” Brooklyn, 25, began his post while sharing a snap of him cuddling Nala and another one of his pet dogs.

“You were unexpectedly taken from way us too soon and hope others don’t experience a loss after something as simple as a grooming,” he continued. “You were the cutest little baby girl and we will always think of you.”

“We know you are looking and barking down on us x 💔We love you so much and miss you beyond,” Brooklyn added.

Nicola, 29, who had Nala for four years before dating Brooklyn, wrote of their late dog in her post that she's had “the hardest month of my life” and is heartbroken at the news as she went into further detail about what happened.

“Nala was perfectly healthy when she went to the groomers yesterday, but came out hyperventilating and couldn’t catch her breath,” she explained. “We rushed her to the vet and she passed hours later.”

Nicola spoke of her intentions in passing on the details of Nala’s death to hopefully prevent a similar situation “from happening to other dogs.”

“She was my beautiful queen and stayed by my side for 9 years through everything,” the actress continued in her post. “Please be careful who you send your dogs to because you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.”

“1 day without nala on earth feels like an eternity. I wish I could have her back in my arms. I pray she’s with my naunni. I hope I see them soon 💔,” she added.

Alongside her message, Nicola posted photos of her cradling and kissing Nala and the pup lying on a bathroom mat on the floor while nestled into Brooklyn’s arm. She also poignantly shared a black-and-white photo of her late grandmother smiling at Nala while holding her up.

The grieving star added in a further post over Nala's death, "My brain can’t comprehend where you went 💔 I just feel so much pain."
