On Wednesday, June 12, Culprit star, 50, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram in honor of her late cat, marking the one-year anniversary of his death.
“Fly high my best angel on your first anniversary. Oh my heart, Clive, I miss you. Not a soul like you. Love of my life 🤍,” she wrote in an Instagram tribute.
The actress’ post also included 10 videos of her cute cat, starting with a video of Beckinsale crouching down to the floor while wearing a black organza dress. Clive peeked under her skirt and Beckinsale flashed a cheeky smile to the camera.
