Alabama took to her Instagram to pay her own tribute to her childhood pet, writing: "I love you Blue. You will never understand how much you helped me on my darkest days, you slept next to me, the way I would throw your ball and you would run with excitement, or the eyes you had that just touched everybody."

She continued: "I'll never forget you my baby. I know you'll have the most amazing time up in doggy heaven, until we meet again my love."

Travis and Alabama's heartbreaking news comes after it was reported that he and his new wife Kourtney have finally bought a home together after admitting they were living in separate houses despite marrying earlier this year.

According to Us Weekly, the newlyweds have bought Conan O'Brien's beach house in Carpinteria, California, for $14.5 million. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 2,142-square-foot two-building oceanfront pad was listed in July for $16.5million.

Blue has been with the Barker family since 2014

The updated interiors in the two-bedroom main house include a great room with white oak flooring, a fireplace, and glass doors that open onto a spacious deck with stairs down to the beach.

The almost half-acre property also features a detached guesthouse with two additional bedrooms as well as a two-car garage with a Tesla charging station.
