Paris Hilton’s Dog, Tinkerbell, Has Died: Here’s Her Life In Pictures

For anyone who was a fan of The Simple Life, or dogs in general, then this will come as a particular shock: Tinkerbell, Paris Hilton’s dog-in-a-bag, has died.

Thankfully, it appeared as if Tinkerbell didn’t go through the sufferings of any illness, but just died of old age after 14 years of life as a TV veteran, GUESS model, red carpet frequenter and purveyor of sitting in various handbags. Paris posted a picture to her instagram yesterday detailing the sad news. ‘My heart is broken. I am so sad & devastated. After 14 amazing years together my baby Tinkerbell has passed away of old age....’ the caption reads.

Paris then dedicated her instagram to her late friend, and so follows a stream of instagram pics celebrating the life of Tinkerbell – who inspired millions of girls to buy Chihuahuas and put them in little bags and carry them round.
