Elizabeth Taylor's Death Sparked A Custody Battle Over One Of Her Furry Friends

According to the Daily Mail, when Elizabeth Taylor died in 2011 at age 79, she left behind her beloved animals, both of whom were Maltese pups named Delilah and Daisy. These puppies soon found themselves at the center of a heated custody battle between Taylor's son, Christopher Wilding, her former manager, Jason Winters, and even the breeder Taylor purchased the puppies from, Carole Blackburn-Harvey.

A year after Taylor passed away, her son took Daisy away to live with him. This didn't sit right with Winters who, according to celebrity news sources, complained to his friends that the late actor would've wanted him to take the pooch instead because of how much he loved and cared for it. 

Meanwhile, British resident Blackburn-Harvey wasn't thrilled with the fiasco and told Express that the dogs were ultimately hers at the end of the day and should be returned to her if there was too much disagreement about their custody arrangements. The breeder also lamented that the whereabouts of Daisy's sister were unknown. "I don't know where Delilah is. They were supposed to be kept together and looked after for the rest of their lives."

The whole brouhaha came and went pretty quickly, and it's unclear where Taylor's pets ended up today. Hopefully, they are still enjoying the lifestyle their famous human mommy intended for them.
