The "Cool for the Summer" singer, who has shared countless snaps of her precious pet over past months, revealed she was "absolutely heartbroken" over the tragic accident and thanked family and friends for holding her up as she struggles to deal with Buddy's death.

"We are absolutely heartbroken to be writing this but Wilmer and I are devastated to inform you that we lost our little angel Buddy last Sunday," Lovato wrote via Twitter.

"We have incredible people around us and so much love and support which is holding us up in this time of need. Buddy was loved by so many people and as small as he was, he made a huge impact in our lives," she went on. "He truly was human in a way and we were so blessed to have him in our lives. We ask you that you please respect our privacy while we take this time to grieve and remember the magical moments we spent with our little angel. We will never forget our baby boy Buddy and his gentle loving spirit will live on in our hearts forever. RIP my tiniest little nightingale, Buddy…'I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be…'"

Just two weeks ago, Lovato shared an adorable snap of her and Buddy cuddled up on a beanbag. "Snuggles with my little baby!!" she captioned the cute snap.

Buddy was given to Lovato as a Christmas gift last year, and instantly became part of the family. The singer even created an Instagram account, @DemisBuddy, for her cute pooch.
