News of Zeta-Jones’ puppy comes almost a week after the death of her father-in-law, legendary movie star Kirk Douglas.
The Hollywood icon died at the age of 103, Zeta-Jones’ husband and Kirk’s son Michael Douglas confirmed to PEOPLE Wednesday.
“To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to,” he wrote in a moving statement. “But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband.”
“Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true,” the Behind the Candelabra star concluded. “Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son.”
Following the Hollywood icon’s passing, Zeta-Jones also shared a touching tribute to her father-in-law.
“To my darling Kirk, I shall love you for the rest of my life,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing a black-and-white photo giving Kirk a kiss on the cheek. “I miss you already. Sleep tight…”
The late actor was laid to rest by his family members on Friday, just two days after his death.
The ceremony was attended by friends and relatives, including his wife of 65 years, Anne Buydens, as well as his three surviving sons: Michael, Peter and Joel.
