Billie Eilish Mourns Loss of 'Life Long Best Friend' in New Post
Billie Eilish is in mourning over the loss of her "life long best friend" and dog, Pepper.
The canine was with the pop singer's family since she was just a pup, as evidenced by new family photos shared on Eilish's Instagram on Sunday, July 23.
In the heartwarming pics, posted alongside a loving tribute to the deceased pet, the "Ocean Eyes" songstress can be seen through the years, as a child growing up with the animal, whom she tearfully posed with after its passing.
"pepper. my life long best friend. i will see you again someday sweet girl," she opened the caption of the social media gallery, before adding a bit about her companion's age. "you made it 15 years you f---ing beast. :’)." According to Almanac.com's dog age chart, a canine who has lived that long would equate to ~83 human years, so the pooch was a senior, having enjoyed a full life.
"i love you. rest easy mama, i’ll miss you forever.??this is a really hard day," the 21-year-old concluded her emotional note.
Fans and famous friends hopped into the comment section with heartfelt condolences for the "Lovely" singer during this understandably difficult time.
"I’m so sorry ??," Demi Lovato said, while Nina Dobrev, Kate Hudson, and Katy Perry all kept it simple by dropping heart and teary-eyed emojis.
"im [sic] at lost for words rn. im [sic] so sorry billie aw :(," one fan wrote, obviously saddened to hear the news. Another wondered, "why can’t they live as long as us :("

As the saying goes, all dogs go to heaven, but we're sure that doesn't make the loss any easier on their owners down here on Earth. Our thoughts are with Billie and her family during this time!
