Paris Hilton is saying goodbye to her foster dog, Zuzu.

On Monday, Jan. 27, the DJ, 43, posted an Instagram video documenting the reunion between Zuzu and her owner, who lost their home in the Los Angeles fires.

“Letting go is never easy, but moments like this remind me why fostering is so important 🥹🐶🐾❤️,” Hilton captioned the post. “Zuzu came into my life during one of the most heartbreaking times, and she was truly a beacon of hope. Saying goodbye to her was so hard, but seeing her family’s faces when they arrived to bring her home made it all worth it. 🥰🏡✨.”

“The love between Zuzu and her family is so special, and I’m so happy they’re reunited after everything they’ve been through. 💕," Hilton wrote.

In the touching video, Hilton welcomed Zuzu’s owners into her home. The mother and son eagerly greeted their dog as Hilton said how sweet the dog was during their time together.

The woman thanked Hilton for her generosity. “I love her so much. She’s such a little angel,” Hilton replied.

“You helped save her,” the woman responded. Hilton immediately went to hug her and express her sympathy to the family after they lost their home in Altadena, Calif. “Just making my son’s whole week that he gets to have his dog back!”

Hilton then revealed that she had Zuzu groomed the day before and that the dog had been enjoying movie night in Hilton’s bed with her and her husband, Carter Reum.

“I really really appreciate it,” the woman told Hilton, adding, “My other son is excited to see her.”

As Hilton said goodbye, she told Zuzu that she would always be her “sliving mom,” and then told the family she has gifts for them too.

“Oh my god! What Paris?! That’s amazing,” the woman said. “Oh my gosh, I don’t know what to say. Thank you. Thank you so so much.”

As they said their goodbyes, Hilton confirmed she hopes to foster again — and wants to set up a dog playdate with Zuzu and her four dogs.

Hilton’s interaction with the family follows the ongoing devastation from the wildfires. The deadly Palisades and Eaton Fires first broke out on Tuesday, Jan. 7. Since the flames set a blaze, 27 people died and thousands of structures were destroyed, displacing entire communities.

Along with Zuzu’s family, Hilton revealed earlier this month that her Malibu home burned down in the L.A. fires. Hilton immediately began giving back to her community and volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society.
