Tori Spelling's beloved pug Mimi LaRue has died of natural causes, leaving the television star "devastated," People magazine reports.  

"She was a star and a true lady, and she will be missed greatly," Spelling said of Mimi, who died Tuesday at the age of 11. "People everywhere knew her by name. I loved when fans wanted her over me. I felt proud!" 

When Mimi died she was surrounded by family members including Spelling's husband Dean McDermott,  their one-year-old son Liam and newborn baby girl Stella, People reports.   

Spelling said her dog had suffered from medical problems relating to her hips and neck for years. "I'm convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us."
