Losing a beloved pet is such a devastating experience and Hilary Duff has posted about that sadness after her French bulldog died.

The Younger actress took to Instagram to share that she was “shattered in million pieces” by the passing of her dog named Beau on Tuesday.

“It’s really true that we never know what the day will bring us,” she wrote. “I am shattered in a million pieces today because my baby French Beau has gone to doggy heaven this afternoon:( I’m sure I will post too many pictures of him this week but as of now I can’t even bear to look at a photo of his little face that melted me every time.

“I can’t fathom never holding his heavy little head in my hands with his two big eyes looking at me again. Remember every day to be grateful for what we have that makes our hearts happy and full. My naughty boy I will miss you so. Heart. Broken.”

ET Online noted that Beau became a member of Duff’s family in 2014.
