My heart is broken I am so sad & devastated. After 14 amazing years together my baby Tinkerbell has passed away of old age. I feel like I’ve lost a member of my family. She was such a special & incredible soul. We went through so much together. I can’t believe she’s gone. I will miss her & think about her for the rest of my life. I love you Tinky, you are a Legend & will never be forgotten. #RIPTinkerbell
Tinky is a legend. She has survived kidnapping attempts, Guess campaigns, a decade and a half of uncomfortable outfits, and Kathy Hilton’s withering glare. Although a revolving door of would-be father figures robbed Tinkerbell of the traditional family structure she craved, she ultimately came into her own as a strong-willed feminist dog who expected the best.
Yesterday, the world became a darker place. What is Los Angeles, without Tinkerbell? What is celebrity? But know this: Tinkerbell’s wise, googly bug-eyes will be watching over us from On High. Look up at the night sky, and you’ll see her—one quivering paw reaching out of a giant, celestial Birken bag, waving at the universe until the end of time.
Rest in peace, Tinkerbell.
