Last week, we reported that the dog of Hollywood star Orlando Bloom had tragically gone missing. Now, the actor has sadly confirmed that the dog has passed away.

Bloom took to Instagram to reveal that his beloved dog Mighty had died, and that he had gotten a tattoo in the canine’s honor.

“Mighty’s on the other side now. After 7 days of searching from sunrise to sunset and into the wee hours, today, the 7th day ~ the number of completion ~ we found his collar… I have wept more this week than I thought possible, which has been very cathartic and healing,” wrote Bloom, 43.

The Lord Of The Rings star went on to describe the lengths he went to in order to find his dog.

“I left no stone unturned, crawled thru all the man holes, under the roads, searched every back yard and creek bed,” he wrote. “Had two separate sniffer dogs do their best as well. I feel so grateful to have learned from my little Mighty man that love is eternal and the true meaning of devotion.”

“I feel sure he was looking down on me whistling in every back yard and knowing that I was doing all I possibly could to respect our bond,” Bloom concluded. “He was more than a companion. It was a soul connection for sure. I’m sorry. I love you. Thank you. RIP my MIGHTY HEART my little fellow A ♠️’s.”

Bloom’s fiancee Katy Perry also shared his post, adding, “We’ll miss our little buddy boy, Nugget’s brother so much. Forever a paw shaped hole in our hearts.”

This came days after Bloom posted a slideshow of photos of Mighty in his desperate quest to find him.

“I don’t recall a time in my life where I’ve been so broken wide open,” he wrote. “The bond between Mighty and I shows devotion in ways I have not truly understood until now. I am a devoted father & partner, still, there is a reason why they call them ‘man’s best friend.’ I miss him. Send out a prayer for my little strong and Mighty boy to find his way back to his family. ❤️⁣.”

Rest in peace, Mighty.
