Jeffree Star is mourning the death of his dog, Daddy Star, who passed away over the weekend. In an emotional Instagram post shared on Sunday (6 October), Jeffree revealed that his adorable Pomeranian had died after undergoing emergency surgery. The YouTuber said "his body couldn’t handle the surgery plus the complications of his medical condition".
Jeffree first shared news of Daddy's medical emergency on Saturday 5 October. The beauty mogul let his 5.4 million Twitter followers know that Daddy was suffering from an abscess in his liver, revealing that he'd received a tough prognosis from the doctor.

I can’t believe that I’m even typing this right now but our dog Daddy has to have immediate surgery & has an abscess in his liver... 😟 The doctor just told Nate and I that he has a 50% chance of living… I’m so fucking devastated and wish I could trade places with him right now

The reason we are really scared is because Daddy has an auto immune deficiency in his brain and has been on medication for months which suppresses the body from fighting back and makes surgery very risky… I truly can’t believe this is happening.

Jeffree let fans know that the surgery was risky and that Daddy had a "50% chance of living". Unfortunately, just hours later Jeffree shared the heartbreaking news that his beloved dog had passed away.
"#RIPDaddyStar 💔 With heavy hearts we have to share the devastating news that our dog Daddy passed away early this morning," Jeffree wrote on Instagram. "His body couldn’t handle the surgery plus the complications of his medical condition. I can’t put into words how much we love our pets and how much this hurts.
"Daddy meant the world to us and was such a light in our home. Every day was smiles and he brought so much love into our lives..😌 Nathan and I know that Daddy and Diamond are together watching over us. My heart breaks in a million pieces thinking about not snuggling with him tonight. We love you big man 🐶"
This comes just months after his other dog, a nine-year-old Pomeranian named Diamond, passed away in June. At the time, Jeffree called the loss "devastating" and made a tearful tribute video for the beloved animal.
