WWE superstar Alexa Bliss is in mourning following the death of her pet pig, Larry-Steve.

The 29-year-old wrestler announced on Instagram Tuesday that Larry-Steve died that morning, one day before his fourth birthday. Bliss shared a black-and-white photo of her hand touching one of the late animal's hooves along with the sad news.

"This morning, Larry-Steve gained his Angel wings. 🐽" wrote Bliss, whose real name is Alexis Kaufman. "I'm so sorry we couldn't find you the help you needed in time. Some people didn't understand. But I want you to know Larry, YOUR LIFE MATTERED. 🐽🖤."

"We are completely heartbroken," she concluded her post.

Bliss received messages of support in the comments section of her post from fellow wrestling stars like Nikki Bella, who wrote, "I'm so sorry Lexi 😢 RIP Larry-Steve. You were such an incredible mama to him. You showed the world how pigs should be treated and how loving and smart they are. Sending you so much love.❤️"

On her Instagram Story Monday, Bliss asked her followers for recommendations for veterinarians that would take an ill Larry-Steve on as a client, adding that "most places who claim to treat pigs do not anymore."

"The only vet that has agreed to see him out of 13 different numbers I've called now is two hours away," Bliss wrote. "No one makes house calls. Unfortunately in the state that Larry is in right now there is absolutely no way we are going to be able to transport him. He is in too much pain and weak."

The famous athlete went on to say that "it's very frustrating to either be told that people only treat pigs up to a certain weight, or just hang up on me when I say I need treatment for a pig."

"It is heartbreaking that all I can do is just listen to him squeal in pain, and no one will come help," Bliss added of Larry-Steve in her Instagram Story. "No one will even come and give him pain meds and help take care of his pain."

"So now we wait and see if we can transfer him tomorrow," Bliss wrote alongside a photo of the pig. "But at least for now, he seems comfortable."
