Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi has addressed the fan response to the dog funeral scenes in season eight.
The reality TV star is best known for appearing on the hit Netflix reality real estate show, with its most recent season arriving on the streaming service last Friday (September 6).
In one of the latest episodes, cast members Mary Bonnet and Jason Oppenheim hold a funeral to mourn their shared pet chihuahua Niko, who died in March after 18 years with the former couple.
In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, Bre opened up about the funeral scenes, which have garnered much discussion online.

"I just know how much they love Niko and he was basically a child to them and a lot of us LA people take our dogs very seriously," she adds. "They are definitely family members so I wasn’t surprised.
"I loved it and I think they did a great job. I wish it had been a little bit more about Niko but there we go."

The Selling Sunset cast all came together to pay their respects for the funeral, wearing all-black outfits, with Bre even wearing a black hat for the occasion.
Season eight saw some more memorable fashion from the Oppenheim Group agents, with more killer heels, hairstyles and accessories.
Asked how long it takes to get ready for filming, Bre told Digital Spy: "It takes about 2 hours. I have an amazing team, I have hair and makeup and I have my assistant and I have help with my son, so I definitely could not do anything without them."
Bre went on to reveal how her one-year-old son Legendary - who she shares with ex partner Nick Cannon and who made a cameo this season - influences her show looks.
"He’s the cutest, he’ll always pick my outfits," she says. "He picks his right now, he always wants to match. It’s been really fun."
Selling Sunset seasons 1-8 are streaming now on Netflix.
