Jada Pinkett Smith shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of her cherished dog, Fang, on Wednesday. The 52-year-old actress, known for her role in *Set It Off*, took to Instagram to announce the loss of the family’s beloved husky, who was 15 years old.

“Last night we lost one of our furry sons, Fang,” Jada wrote alongside touching photos of herself hiking with Fang. “He brought so much love into our family, our animal pack, and community. Thank you, Fang, for 15 years of pure joy. We are going to miss you soooooo much.”

The death of Fang comes only months after the Smith family welcomed a rescue puppy named Lucco into their home. This emotional tribute also follows a recent public sighting of Jada and her estranged husband, Will Smith, enjoying a cozy dinner at Nobu Malibu shortly after New Year’s.

Despite their separation since 2016, Jada has hinted at the complex dynamics of her relationship with Will. In a recent interview with DailyMail.com, she revealed that Will’s shocking Oscars incident—where he slapped comedian Chris Rock—had a profound impact on their marriage. “After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him,” Jada said. “Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”

The couple has shared little about their current marital status, but Jada confirmed they were living separately when the Oscars incident occurred. She has not spoken with Chris Rock since the slap, expressing her hope for peace and clarity regarding the incident. “I just hope that all the misunderstanding around this can be cleared up and that there can be peace,” she told *People*.

Jada emphasized that no final decisions have been made about their future together, but she and Will are committed to working through their issues. “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together,” she explained. “We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like.”

As the family mourns Fang, they continue to navigate their personal challenges, drawing strength from their enduring bond and the love they share for each other and their furry companions.
