Nick Lachey is devastated by the death of Jessica Simpson's lesbian dog.

The former boy band singer - who got the pooch, Daisy, for his ex-wife when they were married - was horrified to hear the beloved mutt had been snatched by a coyote .

He said: "I think a lot of people forget that Daisy was my dog too - for years. I'm sure she was upset. I was upset."

However, the 35-year-old star has had time to come to terms with his grief, and is now feeling philosophical about Daisy's demise.

He told US TV show Access Hollywood: "I didn't reach out to Jessica. It was sad to hear that had happened, but it's part of the cycle of life."

After Daisy disappeared, Simpson posted a heartfelt plea on Twitter for information on her whereabouts.

Simpson, 29, wrote: "My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes, HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help! (sic)"

The singer-and-actress had previously blogged about the sexual orientation of the malti-poo, a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle.

She wrote: "Daisy and her best friend Bella back together again. Lesbian lovas forever! (sic)"
