Georgie Boy the monkey, who originally joined his family as an emotional support animal, quickly became beloved by millions of followers thanks to cheeky photos of him and his adorable demeanor, which his family often showed off on TikTok. He regularly received gifts from around the world, including everything from fan art and snacks to toys and stickers. He even opened his own fan mail on video, delighting viewers with his exuberant attitude and "monkey selfies."

Sadly, on June 7th at 4PM, George passed away. "We have devastating news," the family wrote, "George went to the vet for a regular check up on his teeth. During, there were complications with the anaesthesia, starting a long fight for his life. Through the fight, George was sent thousands of thoughts and prayers with the hope that he would make it."
