ATLANTA — Actor Tyrese Gibson was booked into the Fulton County jail in an animal cruelty case Friday morning.

A Buckhead neighbor says Gibson’s four Cane Corso dogs roamed freely and killed his dog, a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Henry.

The “Fast and Furious” star is charged with cruelty to animals.

He was released on $20,000 dollars bond.

Gibson shared a statement saying he is “shocked, devastated, and heartbroken” for the family who lost their dog.

“As an empath, my heart hurts deeply for their unimaginable loss, and I’ve been trying to reach out directly to express my sorrow and condolences,” he wrote.

Gibson added that he had been in Los Angeles mourning the loss of his father at the time of the attack in Atlanta.

The following is a statement from Gibson’s attorney, Gabe Banks:

“For the past three and a half years, Mr. Gibson has been dealing with stalkers randomly showing up at his home. His only motivation in bringing these dogs into his life was to protect his family and provide peace of mind. These dogs were never trained to be vicious; they never spent a single day in attack training. Until this incident, they had never harmed a child, a person, or another dog.

This tragic event is shocking and traumatizing for him and his family — and he can only imagine how devastating it has been for the family who lost their pet.

Since the day he learned of this tragedy, Mr. Gibson has been actively trying to reach out to the family directly to express his sorrow and condolences. He knows nothing can undo their loss, but he wants them to know he is truly heartbroken."
