DANIEL STURRIDGE is prepared to pay £30,000 to have his dog Lucky Lucci returned after burglars smashed into his Hollywood home and kidnapped it.

The former Liverpool striker even shared the address of his mansion in a desperate, expletive-riddled plea - calling for the Pomeranian to be returned.

Sturridge, 29, has uploaded a series of Instagram videos from his Los Angeles house which was burgled last night.

Detectives arrived at the property on Tuesday afternoon as they started gathering evidence in the hunt for the kidnappers.

They took prints on the broken door but Sturridge himself has taken matters into his own hands in his mission to find his dog.

He shared his address, CCTV footage of the kidnappers entering the mansion as well as pictures of his dog, which is worth up to £4000.

The striker - on a £120,000-a-week contract before leaving Liverpool this summer - revealed that a few bags had been stolen by the burglars.

But the loss of the favourite pet was what hit him hardest.

Sturridge said he would move out of his mansion immediately.

But he pleaded with the dognappers to come back "if they wanted to make money".

And the former Reds star offered them a hefty reward for returning his beloved pooch.

Sturridge said: “£20,000 straight up. Twenty g’s, thirty g’s, whatever.

“Bring my dog back to this house, I’m moving out of this b**** anyway, I don’t give a s*** about this place.

“Bring the dog back to this address, I’ll be moving out tomorrow or the next day. I want my dog back and I’ll pay whatever.

“You ain’t going to get more than that anyway. And if you are let me know and I'll pay more than them. I’ll pay more than them.”

And Sturridge added: "2351 mount Olympus DR, West Hollywood, 90046.

"Burglary happened in the last two hours apparently three men stole my dog and four bags.

"Someone please return him. I’ll pay anything."
