PALO ALTO, Calif. — A famous donkey from California that helped inspire the movie character “Donkey” in “Shrek” has died.

Perry was 30 years old.

In an Instagram post, BPDonkeys, wrote on Friday, “We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Barron Park donkey, Perry, passed away yesterday at the age of 30. He was a beloved member of our community and we know many people will be touched by his passing. Memorial plans will be announced soon.”

Perry resided at Cornelis Bol Park in Palo Alto, California and served as a support animal.

Paying for his care, and for the other donkeys, slowly became a point of controversy overtime. The city faced a budget deficit last year. A city councilmember pushed back at paying tens of thousands of dollars.

A memorial will be held for Perry at a later date.

California Highway Patrol warns against attempted ‘Amber Alert' scam

The California Highway Patrol is warning the public to beware of fraudsters posing as “AMBER Alert representatives” offering to “register” children.

“They ask for confidential info and to meet at your home,” the CHP said Saturday on social media. “This is not how the AMBER Alert system works.”

No registration is ever required, the CHP said.

AMBER — which stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response — is only activated by law enforcement agencies investigating reports of an abducted or missing child.

The alerts are intended to provide the public with immediate information about a child abduction.

The CHP said it is the only agency authorized to activate AMBER Alerts.

“Never provide personal information or answer calls from unknown or ‘possible scam’ numbers,” the highway patrol said.

If contacted by a scammer, the CHP said, report it to your local law enforcement agency immediately.
