Prince's beloved white dove Divinity has died.
Divinity, who Prince adopted alongside a male dove called Majesty, passed away due to old age. She was 28-years-old, as confirmed by Prince's estate.
Alan Seiffert, the executive director of the estate, said: “She was one of the enduring links to Prince for thousands of fans. She will be missed."
Divinity lived at Prince's Paisley Park home in Minnesota and greeted visitors when it was turned into a museum in 2016 after the singer's death.
Fans of Prince, who passed away in 2016, will know he had a number one hit called 'When Doves Cry' in 1984, the video of which featured Prince with cameo appearances from doves.
