She said: “It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that little Macy has passed away.
“As I'm sure you can all understand her family are dreadfully upset and will be in contact when they feel ready.”
Cris said she has now taken down the fundraiser.
She added: “I’ve taken down the fundraiser because I don’t think it is appropriate at this time.
“People are still wanting to donate to Macy’s owner but the family are distraught at the moment.
“Obviously all the money raised will still go to them.”
Northumbria Police had initially arrested the owners of the bullmastiffs but have since released them without charge.
