Cindy Crawford reveals devastating family loss: 'We had to say goodbye'
Cindy Crawford revealed the news that she and her family had suffered a devastating loss as their dog died. The natural beauty, 59, shared the sad news on social media Friday morning, posting sweet snaps of the pooch who had been a part of her family for nearly two decades. In a sweet eulogy for the adorable pup, the supermodel wrote about overcoming her fear of dogs for her kids after being bitten a couple of times as a child. 'After I had kids, I knew I didn't want to pass my fear of dogs along to them, so we got two small dogs — that weren't too scary ;)' she told her 8.2 million followers. 'What I didn't know was how much fun having little furry friends adds to family life,' she said. 'I loved watching my kids chase our dogs around or dress them up or just cuddle up together on the couch. And as my kids grew older, and our dogs too, their friendly presence continued to bring joy to our lives.' Revealing the sad news, the Meaningful Beauty co-founder wrote, 'We had to say goodbye to our little girl Widget yesterday.' Describing the lively pooch, Crawford wrote, 'She was a puppy for 17 years and we will miss her. Hopefully she is eating endless snacks with her 'sister' Sugar somewhere in doggy heaven.' 'Beautiful! Dogs are lovely! I used to be scared of them but confronted my fear and we got a dog we had her 15 whole years and now I feel stuck she's no longer here! Xx' wrote a fan who had overcome a similar fear. '17 years of unconditional love is something to grieve. Sorry all of you.❤️' wrote fellow supermodel Paulina Porizkova in condolence. 'So sorry for your loss. There's nothing like the love of a family dog. 17 years is a long life and I'm sure Widget will be missed by all,' said model Christy Turlington. Crawford's son, Presley Gerber, 25, also bid an emotional farewell to the dog who had been such a big part of his life. He first asked for friends and fans to send 'good thoughts and energy, his way in his Instagram Stories. 'Somebody close to me needs it right now.' The reason for the good wishes became clear a few hours later when he shared a sweet but short clip of him petting the sweet pooch's head for perhaps the final time on Thursday. 'Wow, today is a trip,' he wrote. 'I'm going to miss you Widget. I love you so much and I'm going to hold your spirit close to me forever. Fly high angel.' The model also shared a photo from his youth of him and Widget, writing 'Two blondes in the fam.'

Ellen DeGeneres suffers heartbreaking loss after leaving Hollywood
Ellen DeGeneres recently suffered a heartbreaking loss after fleeing Hollywood for a quieter life in the English countryside following her toxic workplace scandal. Last week, the former talk show host, 67, revealed on Instagram that her and her wife Portia de Rossi's beloved rescue dog Augie recently died. DeGeneres rescued the pooch more than a decade ago and he was one of three dogs owned by the celebrity couple, who have been married since 2008. 'We had to say goodbye to Augie yesterday,' DeGeneres — who recently debuted a new look — announced on Friday, May 16. 'We rescued him 12 years ago and he was so grateful. He gave us so much love. He will be missed. There will never be another like him.' Along with her heartfelt words, DeGeneres shared a slideshow of photos of Augie, a Beagle-Chihuahua mix, taken through the years. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Several of the snaps showed the tiny dog cuddling with Portia or sunning outside at the sprawling $32 million Montecito mansion that DeGeneres offloaded in 2024. Days later, DeGeneres returned to Instagram to thank her 136million followers for their 'kind messages.' She also uploaded a never before seen video of herself and Portia with Augie that was recorded just weeks before his death. The video showed the senior dog sleeping peacefully in Portia's lap as DeGeneres spoke about her skincare line, Kind Science By Ellen. 'Thank you for all of your kind messages about Augie,' the star wrote. 'We filmed this last month and planned to post it today. 'I don't care what Portia says, please don't call me the Deal Queen. We love you, Augie.' Portia has yet to publicly comment on Augie's death but the Arrested Development star, 52, is not active on social media like DeGeneres. The couple, who do not have children together, have been proud dog parents for many years. 'We had to say goodbye to Augie yesterday,' DeGeneres announced on Friday, May 16 DeGeneres rescued the pooch more than a decade ago and he was one of three dogs owned by the celebrity couple Along with Augie, they own a Poodle-Maltese mix named Kid and a purebred Poodle named Mrs. Wallis Browning. Back in 2023, DeGeneres shared photos of Augie, Kid and Mrs. Wallis Browning in honor of National Pet Day. She captioned the post: 'Happy #NationalPetDay to this crew,' and added a heart emoji. Along with their dogs, DeGeneres and her actress wife also have two tuxedo cats named George and Chairman. Back in 2020, their pet brood became smaller following the loss of both Charlie the cat and Wolf the dog. DeGeneres is a well-known animal lover and even has a line of pet toys, beds, dresses, tees, tank tops, and sweatshirts called ED by Ellen DeGeneres. However it appears the line, which was sold at PetSmart, is no longer in production. DeGeneres' recent family tragedy comes two weeks after she shocked fans by debuting a brand new hairstyle — after decades of rocking a blonde pixie cut. She did so by sharing footage of herself mowing the grass at her and Portia's new home in the English country side. In the clip, DeGeneres sat on top of a yellow mower and revealed that she has ditched her signature blonde locks for a brunette shade. The star could be seen steering the mower through a large field as a layer of gray clouds filled the sky. Text was added towards the bottom of the reel which read, 'How it started.' The video then cut to Ellen being assisted by an individual after the machine seemingly broke down on a steep hill. The clip concluded as more text popped up onto the screen which said, 'How it ended.' The comedian also penned in the caption: 'Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right.' The couple moved to the U.K. following Donald Trump's presidential win late last year in November. They were recently forced to relocate to a different property near Oxfordshire after their Cotswolds home suffered severe flooding shortly after moving in. DeGeneres previously gave fans a rare look at her new life in England to her 136 million followers. Last month in April, she snapped a photo while standing behind Portia as they looked out at the scenic view of the countryside and a double rainbow following a rainfall. '3 things that make me happy: My Wife A Rainbow And my wife taking a photograph of a Rainbow,' she wrote. Back in 2020, DeGeneres was embroiled in controversy after being accused of creating a toxic work environment - and later issued an apology. After nearly two decades of being on the air, The Ellen Degeneres Show also came to an end just two years later in 2022. She previously told The Hollywood Reporter, 'I have to just trust that whatever happened during that time, which was obviously very, very difficult, happened for a reason. 'I think that I learned a lot, and there were some things that came up that I was shocked and surprised by. It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen.' She stepped in front of the camera once again for her 2024 Netflix special titled Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval. However upon its release, the project garnered mainly mixed to negative reviews and garnered a score of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. A few months earlier in March of this year, Ellen took the big step of listing her Montecito property for $4,995,000. Less than two weeks later, the star's home sold for over the asking price at $5.2 million. People reported at the time that the two-bedroom, two-bathroom abode quickly went into escrow after receiving 'multiple offers within two days of hitting the market.' And back in January, Ellen and Portia had put an additional Montecito property on the market for $29.9 million. The couple opted to move into an $18 million house in the Cotswolds area in the U.K. late last year. The reason the pair chose to relocate to the British countryside rather than Portia's home country of Australia was soon revealed. A source explained to New Idea, 'Ellen wants to continue with her comedy work, and there is a huge scene in Britain. 'Sitting back and chilling on a beach in Australia is for when she's ready to retire and Ellen's not there yet.' But after the move, their six-bedroom Cotswolds home was met with severe flooding due to Storm Bert. An insider informed MailOnline, 'Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into. 'First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property.' DeGeneres and Portia have since moved to a different property which is only a 30 minute drive from the original home that they had bought. A source recently told 'The house is a real Grand Designs number - and it's plain that Ellen and Portia are loving it.' They added, 'Everything has been done very discreetly so it's not clear what the terms of the deal was but it seems that it has recently changed hands for not much less than they paid for their previous place. 'To buy two properties for eight figure sums in the space of a few months really is unusual, even given the many multi-millionaires around here.' The source continued, 'And at even a conservative estimate it must have cost Ellen hundreds of thousands of pounds in fees and costs to change her mind so dramatically - perhaps millions.'

Julia Roberts reveals devastating family loss in emotional post
announced the devastating loss of her family dog Myrtle in an emotional Instagram post on Friday. The Pretty Woman actress, 57 - who has often been seen on outings with the rescue pup that she adopted back in 2006 - uploaded a photo of Myrtle that had been taken outside. In the caption, she penned to her 12.8 million followers: 'Our Myrtle. A Legend. 2006-2025,' followed by a crown emoji. Her husband Daniel Moder - whom she tied the knot with in 2002 - also shared a special tribute to their beloved companion. He included a picture of Myrtle and typed out, 'The definition of Fierce Loyalty, even if she bit the pizza man once. RIP Mytlle…aka Myrtle Von Mertzenberger.' The beloved dog was also no stranger to being in front of the camera and notably made an appearance alongside Roberts for her Chopard Loves Cinema campaign in 2023. Julia - who is a global ambassador for the luxury jewelry brand - took part in a 12-episode digital series for the campaign which gave a closer glimpse at her life in Hollywood. The mini short films were directed by James Gray and in one snippet, Myrtle could be seen jumping up next to the actress while on set. A release at the time described the BTS moments as the star 'spreading her joy and larks. 'She knits, finds something nice to say about everyone, slips into trainers under her glamorous dresses, takes over the camera herself and interrupts her script rehearsal to cuddle her dog Myrtle that jumps on her lap.' Social media users jumped to the comment section of both Julia and Daniel's posts to offer their condolences. One penned, 'Oh no. So sorry for your loss! She was a star in Chopard Loves Cinema! I'm sure she had the best life with your family. Rest easy Myrtle!' Another wrote, 'Myrtle, may you take the wonder and acclaim you lived with to the rainbow bridge. You are indelibly etched in hearts forever.' 'Heartbroken. I love you all,' a comment read, while British editor Edward Enninful added, 'So so sorry for your loss!!!' Another wrote, 'Myrtle, may you take the wonder and acclaim you lived with to the rainbow bridge. You are indelibly etched in hearts forever' Roberts has previously shown her love for animals by taking part in a fundraiser late last year in December. She partnered with Be Love Apparel to shed light onto the dog rescue organization called Frankie Lola and Friends. At the time, she jumped to her Instagram page to share a sweet selfie with one of her other adorable dogs. 'It's GIVE BACK TUESDAY!! I am Thrilled my amazing friends @beloveapparel are donating profits from every "WE ARE FAMILY" purchase to Frankie Lola and Friends @lisachiarelli An incredible dog rescue organization! 'Lisa and her team work like crazy to find loving homes for pups in desperate need! What could be better than that!' The tragic update comes just days after Julia celebrated Mother's Day over the past weekend and appeared in a rare snap with her three children. The Notting Hill actress shares twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, and son Henry, 17, with husband Daniel. He uploaded a memorable picture of Roberts as she posed with their kids outside underneath the warm sunshine. Moder captioned the photo by typing out: 'Mothers make the coolest stuff. Love these guys.' During an interview with Today in 2023, Julia opened up about her children now that they are older. 'I parent them the same way out of the house that I parented them in the house, which is, you know, "Are you getting enough sleep?" 'And "You sound like you're sick." And "Are you drinking tea?" And "Text me when you get home you get home (so) I can see that you're home safe and sound."' The star added, 'And I have an immense amount of appreciation for both of my older kids because they still allow me to be the same mom to them and it's not eye-rolling and there's a huge amount of understanding.' Roberts also previously talked about her kids to Extra and said daughter Hazel takes clothing from her closet. However, the pair differ when it comes to taste in jewelry and explained, 'She's more bohemian in her aesthetic.' 'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added Julia also made rare comments about her husband Daniel during an interview with British Vogue last year. While on the topic of how she maintains her 'lustrous youth,' the actress gave a special shout out to Moder. 'Good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this - and I say it usually as kind of a joke - but I do believe in the love of a good man. 'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy,' Roberts added.
