Katie Price was reportedly grieving the loss of her sixth pet on Friday after her beloved dog Sharon was killed when she allegedly escaped and ran onto the road where she was hit by a car.
The pooch was recently pictured on the glamour model's Instagram page as she lay next to the star.
Pomeranian Sharon was picked up off the A24 by the driver of the vehicle and taken to to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West Suffolk, where her death was confirmed, according to The Sun.

A source close to the reality star - who owns chihuahuas Captain, Buddy, Colin and Batman, and guard dog Blade - told the publication it was 'rotten luck' that Sharon was hit and that Katie is 'in bits'.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Katie and the vets for comment.
Earlier this month, it was reported Katie was left 'devastated' after losing her pet Chihuahua Captain while on holiday, before reuniting with her pooch.

The former glamour model lost the pup during a getaway to Sandbanks in Dorset with her on-off fiancé, Carl Woods, 32.
A source told The Sun: 'Katie was in bits. She thought Captain would be fine off his lead as they were staying on a friend's private property which was very secure but he managed to run off.
'Katie was devastated thinking she has lost him for good, or that he might get run over.'

After eight hours of searching the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate then received a phone call to say Captain had been found.
The pup had been taken to a local vet and they were able to identify him via his microchip.
Katie has come under fire in the past after a Change.Org petition gained traction in a bid to ban her from owning further animals. It had more then 24,500 signatures at the time of writing.

The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate was previously criticised by animal welfare charities in November 2021 after getting guard dog Okra following an incident which saw her dog Rolo suffocate at her home, while her Alsatian Sparkle was mowed down in February 2020, in shocking echoes of the death of her dog Queenie, who was killed in 2018.
Katie later revealed her shock after she was illegally advised to give her late puppy Rolo cannabis oil before he 'suffocated to death in an armchair'.
