Beckham, who dabbles in amateur photography and cooking on YouTube, informed fans that their beloved Nala had died after a grooming appointment. In a heartfelt Instagram post accompanied by a snapshot of him holding the tiny canine, Brooklyn penned: "Dear Nala, we miss you so much."

In his tribute, he voiced the shock and pain felt: "You were unexpectedly taken from way us too soon and hope others don't experience a loss after something as simple as a grooming.
