Kelly's beloved dog has died 

Polly's death comes just months after she updated her social media followers with scary health news concerning her dog. Kelly explained to her 2.3 million followers: "At around 4:30am Erik and I woke up to find Polly hardly breathing and completely unable to move.

"We rushed her to the vet where she is currently being treated in the ICU. I was told they believe her heart stopped and they don't know why. This dog means more to me than anything in the world. She is my heart and soul. I don't think I would still be here if it was not for this dog. Please pray for her."

Kelly adores her pets

Kelly has had a difficult time of things recently and opened up about her relapse in her battle with alcohol.

She credited her boyfriend, Erik Bragg, for helping her through it when she told Entertainment Tonight. "He didn't say anything.

He just gave me a look," she said. "It was while he was working out and I just sat on the couch watching him work out [while I was] drunk, and he was doing a burpee and he turned his head to the side and just looked at me and I was like, [gasp], I go, 'OK, I'm done.'"
