David Beckham expressed his condolences when his daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham conveyed her grief at the loss of her dog Bear.
The 28-year-old American actress shared a series of images of her beloved pet swimming in the water with her three million Instagram followers, including one in which her husband Brooklyn, 24, can be seen bent down with Bear.
‘There are no words to describe how I feel. ‘Bear, I am so grateful that I was able to grow up with you at my side,’ she said with the photo.
‘Thank you for loving all of us so deeply. I hate that you’re gone, I miss you so much. I hope you know how much I love you.’
She described the beach day, which was three years ago, as ‘one of the most magical days I’ll ever have’ and said she pictures the beloved dog ‘swimming right now in heaven’.
Underneath the collection of images, David, 48, penned: ‘My favourite everyone loved Bear @nicolaannepeltzbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham.’
The actress posted several photographs to her Instagram story, including one of Bear as a puppy, which she captioned, “I can’t believe I don’t get to hold you one more time.”
She added: ‘I love you more than I could ever express. I miss you so much. Thank you for loving me.’
Another showed the pet lying down while Brooklyn cradled them.
Brooklyn – the eldest son of former England footballer David and Spice Girl and fashion designer Victoria Beckham – also posted a photo of him in the ocean with the dog on his Instagram story and wrote: ‘We miss you so much Bear, you were an amazing dog … We love you x.’
Friends and famous faces were among those to send their condolences, including Paris Hilton, who said ‘Sorry for your loss’.
In April of last year, Nicola married promising chef Brooklyn in a star-studded Palm Beach wedding.
The actress, who is the daughter of US millionaire Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, has previously been in Bates Motel, Transformers: Age Of Extinction, and, most recently, Disney+’s Welcome To Chippendales.
