Perez Hilton is reporting that Tori’s beloved pug, Mimi LaRue has passed away.

No, Tori Spelling is not dead!

But, her beloved (and quite famous) pug, Mimi LaRue , died Tuesday of natural causes at the age of 11.

Tori says, “She was a star and a true lady, and she will be missed greatly. People everywhere knew her by name. I loved when fans wanted her over me. I felt proud! I’m devastated. I’m convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us.”

Tori also revealed that dear Mimi had suffered from medical problems relating to her hips and neck for years.

So sad

I want to wish Tori and the family the best during this hard time… Pets become family and I’m sure its pretty devastating…
