Jesse Tyler Ferguson<\/a><\/strong> is mourning the loss of his canine co-star. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, news broke that Beatrice the Frenchie<\/strong>, who played Stella on Modern Family<\/em><\/strong>, had passed away. According to The Blast<\/a><\/em>, the beloved pup died shortly after the fan-favorite ABC comedy wrapped its final episode <\/a>on February 21. <\/p>\n

Known as Jay Pritchett’s (Ed O’Neill<\/a><\/strong>) family pet, Stella joined the Modern Family<\/em> cast back in season 2 when the patriarch reluctantly got a dog and hilariously grew to love her more than his wife Gloria (Sofia Vergara<\/a><\/strong>). The role was initially played by another adorable canine until Beatrice took over in season 4.<\/p>\n

After learning of Beatrice’s passing, Jesse took to social media to express his condolences. “Rest In Peace sweet Beatrice,” he shared on Twitter, along with a photograph of him and his husband Justin Mikita<\/strong> with the precious scene-stealer on the Modern Family<\/em> set<\/a>. “We love you so much.”<\/p>\n

Just three weeks ago, Beatrice got a sweet shout-out on the show’s Instagram<\/a> account in honor of National Pet Day<\/a>. The post read, “Stellaaaaa, we love you! Happy #NationalPetDay.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

With the Modern Family<\/em> series finale less than one month away, Jesse explained that it’s been difficult to come to terms with the Emmy-winning sitcom ending after its epic 11-year run. <\/p>\n

“It’s a very emotional. I’m open to any advice you give me because I’m really not dealing with it in a great way,” he told Sean Hayes<\/a><\/strong> during his visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em> back in February<\/a>. “I think I’m, like, repressing my feelings about it. It sneaks up in weird ways\u2026I mean, I adore [the cast] so much. It’s really, really sad.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Ahead of the cast’s last day of filming, the Broadway star shared a heartwarming message to fans via social media, where he can be seen sitting in the middle of an empty set.<\/p>\n

“‘Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.’ -J.M. Barrie,” Jesse wrote<\/a>. “Tomorrow is the last day of shooting @abcmodernfam. Thank you to all of our fans. It’s been a great 11 years & 250 episodes.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
