Logan Paul updated fans on the fate of his former pet pig Pearl following the ‘heartbreaking situation’ she faced two years after the time he bought her. 

The famous YouTuber and energy drink entrepreneur revealed his pig had been ‘abandoned’ and thanked an animal sanctuary for working to find her a new home. 

Sharing plenty cosy snaps with his farmyard friend online, the 27-year-old admitted he thought Pearl was a mini-pig at the time and was shocked to see her grow to full-size. 

He tweeted news of the pet’s current whereabouts and penned a message of thanks to Californian non-profit The Gentle Barn who found Pearl a place to stay in Santa Clarita.

The social media star explained how his pet lost her way in a series of threads: ‘Pearl was rehomed to an amazing Ranch that I visited in Santa Clarita when I moved to Puerto Rico. I was unable to bring her to the island.’

Logan went on to allege: ‘She lived there happily for 10 months before the owner sold the Ranch. She was rehomed w/o my knowledge to the Farmer across the street.

‘As far as I know, the Farmer called the Gentle Barn to pick her up, & denies there was a second pig — Pearl was transferred alone.

‘This is an incredibly heartbreaking situation, I had Pearl for 2 years. 

‘I’m beyond thankful to the @TheGentleBarn for taking her in & will do whatever I need to aid in Pearl’s care [sic].’

According to TMZ on learning of Pearl’s condition, the star personally contacted the animal sanctuary and offered to ‘contribute to her care again’ once he thanked them for rescuing the pig.

A source also told the outlet of Logan’s deep upset at hearing the news. 

The Gentle Barn posted about the incident on their own social media accounts and uploaded a video of Pearl being transferred to the sanctuary for treatment. 

In text provided within the video, the charity explained: ‘We got a call about a pig abandoned in a field, she was found with another pig who had passed away. She’s lucky to be alive. 

‘We were told she belonged to a famous YouTuber and was irresponsibly rehomed.

‘All we know for sure is she ended up abandoned and scared with mangled ears and a broken heart.

‘So we brought her to our sanctuary with a promise that she will never be alone again.’ 

They signed off their post: ‘Welcome home, Pearl.’

Metro.co.uk contacted The Gentle Barn for comment.
