Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is mourning the heartbreaking loss of her beloved family dog, River. The reality star took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute, announcing that River had passed away — and fans are flooding her with love and support.

“You were more than just a dog. You were family,” Kyle wrote alongside a series of touching photos featuring River cuddled up with her daughters, lounging at home, and enjoying sunny days in the yard. “Thank you for loving us so unconditionally.”

River had become a fixture in Kyle’s home life and even made appearances in her social media posts and on RHOBH. Known for her deep love of animals, Kyle often referred to River as one of her “babies” and shared that the loss has left a huge hole in her heart.

In the post, Kyle thanked her daughters for helping take care of River and for giving him the best life possible. “He brought so much joy to our family,” she wrote. “And while we’re heartbroken, we’re grateful for every single moment.”

Bravo fans quickly filled the comments with condolences, sharing their own stories of pet loss and thanking Kyle for being open about her grief. “This is the hardest kind of goodbye,” one fan wrote. “He was lucky to be so loved.”

River’s passing is a reminder that even amid the glamour and drama of Beverly Hills, the most meaningful stories are often the quiet ones — about love, loyalty, and loss.
