“It’s a very sad day for our family,” she wrote in the caption. “Dali, our beloved French woman, died last night. He would be 12 next month… which I am told is a long life for this breed. I always, always called him a ROCKSTAR.
“Because it was! He marched to the beat of his own drum, was universally loved, and boy did he have a good life. We will miss him, but know that he is screaming in heaven, ruling the roost and enjoying the all-you-can-eat buffet. RIP Dali Rockstar Jackman. We love you!’
Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, adopted Dali in 2010. They also have another dog named Allegra.

The Broadway star regularly shares pup updates with his 30 million Instagram followers and previously joked that his canine companions were “a lot more famous” than him.
He previously joked: “My dogs are way more famous than me! If I post anything about my dogs it gets blown up. I just did a play and fans were coming to the theater – but it wasn’t for me! I was taking the puppy to the theater and the fans were saying “When is the dog coming?” They came to see the puppy.’
“They didn’t care about me! And I get it, they’re much more interesting than me!” quipped the star.
