Beth Chapman Dead At 51 After Cancer Battle - PerezHilton.com

Beth Chapman has lost her battle to cancer on Wednesday.

Dog the Bounty Hunter has confirmed his wife’s passing on Twitter, sharing an emotional message with fans and followers, writing:

“It’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.”

According to The Blast, Chapman was surrounded by family in the Honolulu hospital at the time.

So heartbreaking.

As we reported, the reality TV starlet was hospitalized on Saturday after experiencing difficulty breathing as well as choking. She was placed into a medically-induced coma after recently undergoing an aggressive series of chemotherapy treatments.

TMZ sources previously said that Dog and the couple’s children had been by Beth’s side “around the clock” amid her latest health scare, adding that doctors were “doing their best to keep her comfortable” while the family continued to pray for a miracle.

Dog (real name Duane “Dog” Chapman) had been asking fans for their thoughts and prayers as Beth was in the hospital. He wrote brief messages on his Twitter and Facebook pages over the weekend, writing:

“Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you.”

He later addressed the “fake news” on Tuesday amid reports she was not expected to recover. The bounty hunter wrote:

“90% of what you’re hearing is fake news. I don’t mean to be nasty but some are filling in the blanks. @wgnamerica will be releasing an accurate update soon. Please keep prayers coming!”

Beth has been fighting the aggressive disease ever since she was diagnosed with stage II throat cancer in September 2017. She even beat the disease for a while after having the cancer removed. Unfortunately, it returned in 2018 and forced her to go back into treatment.

The mom-of-four had surgery in November to remove a mass from her throat and started chemotherapy by the next month. She was hospitalized again in April.

As fans know, the couple were filming a new show, Dog’s Most Wanted, which was said to be airing in 2020.

A trailer had already been released, with the program supposedly keeping Beth’s health battle as part of the major plot. It’s unclear what will happen to the reality TV show now, but we can only hope if it does come out, it honors her memory.

We’re heartbroken she wasn’t able to recover.

Our thoughts are with Dog, their family, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest in peace.
