It’s been a tough year for Vanna White. On top of the loss of her father, the “Wheel of Fortune” co-host became overcome with emotion an episode of the long-running game show when she revealed that her beloved cat, Stella, had died. “She was such a big member of our family, and she’s going to be missed so much, and love her to death,” White revealed. And if that wasn’t enough, the production crew made a photo montage dedicated to the feline. Cue the tears.
White also shared the sad news with her over 45,000 Twitter followers in a post that included the video clip from “Wheel of Fortune.” “My sweet Stella has gone to kitty heaven. I miss her so much. Here are some special memories of the 16 years we had together,” White wrote. Fans let the star know that they were thinking of her as they flocked to the comments section to send their love. “Our Condolences!!! We just lost our Bette, 16 years old, born in our arms,” one fan commented. “Peace is knowing we will meet again at the rainbow bridge!”
White is not the only celebrity who has dealt with the loss of a furry friend this year. In March, Mario Lopez shared the loss of his beloved Frenchie, Julio Cesar Chavez Lopez, in his own tear-jerking Instagram post. If anything, this just makes us want to hold our four-legged friends a little tighter today.
