Natalia also shared an emotional tribute to the longtime family pet, writing via Instagram on Friday: “I truly have no words except for the fact that Crucio was the best dog I could have ever asked for. To the most handsome, loving, selfless and brave dog- you will forever be missed. 🤍🐾

Several of the University of Southern California college student’s famous friends also offered their condolences after the dog’s death. “I’m so sorry my love, he loved you the most possible I know 🤍,” Aoki Lee Simmons, the youngest daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons, commented.

One month earlier, Vanessa noted how Crucio — who’s named after a Harry Potter spell — helped her get through difficult times.

🐶❤Crucio (always tries to lick my tears). ❤,” the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation founder wrote via Instagram in January, alongside footage of the dog licking her face.

Crucio’s death comes nearly two years after the basketball legend and daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash in January 2020. A statue of the father-daughter pair was erected at the Calabasas, California, site by sculptor Dan Medina in their honor, which was dedicated last month.
