Katie Price's dog Sparkle has died after being hit by a car – making it her third pet to die in three years.
Reports suggest the Alsatian escaped from Katie's home and was mown down on a busy road nearby.
Katie Price has an ill-fated track record with family pets after one of her family pets was run down and allegedly killed by a pizza delivery driver.
Sparkle was reportedly hit by a car in a heartbreaking accident on the A24, which runs nearby her West Sussex 'mucky mansion'.
The busy dual carriageway has appeared troublesome for the former glamour model, 41, in the past after one of her old dogs, Bear, ran onto the road in February last year in a horrifying scare.

According to The Sun, the A24 is the same road where one of Katie’s horses died after escaping from a field in 2017.
The fast speed road has now caused tragedy for Katie again after her Alsatian Sparkle managed to escape the countryside property while she was away.
Katie's devastating dog saga began when her German Shepherd named Queenie was reportedly hit by a delivery driver close to her home.

After losing Queenie, Katie splurged on new dog Bear despite battling bankruptcy and being seemingly unable to afford spending thousands on a new dog.
However she didn't have Bear for long after she was forced to rehome the Alsatian puppy over fears for his safety.
The pooch escaped from the house a number of times and had three near death experiences in a matter of weeks.
The dog also bit another dog, and a vet advised that he could be a risk to people.
Katie was left feeling she had no choice but to rehome Bear as she didn't want any harm to come to him or her children and other animals.

The news of Sparkle's tragic death today comes after reports recently claimed the reality star was forced to sell off many of her existing animals in a bid to pay off her spiralling debts.
A bevy of llamas, goats, pigs, sheep and horses were put up for sale online, although ex husband Peter Andre managed to talk her out of getting rid of the kids' sphynx cats Dobbie and Hagrid, and African hedgehog Peggy, for cold hard cash.
And she's been criticised for getting other new dog Blade after so many of her pets have met sad ends – from Marvin the chameleon, who apparently died of a "broken heart" after Junior and Princess left him with Katie to move in with their dad, to Queenie the Alsatian.
Animal lover Katie reportedly purchased Sparkle and Blade to boost her security.
She previously shared clips of herself training Blade and joked that teaching her pooch was just like training a toyboy.
Despite getting rid of Sparkle's half-brother Bear in recent months, Sparkle's reported death comes just months after the dog gave birth to a litter of puppies in September which Pricey sold for £2,000 each.
