Tila Tequila howls as Nicky Hilton grabs Johnson’s dogs

Baby-oil heiress Casey Johnson’s rich-and-famous friends went to the dogs for her yesterday, wresting her orphaned pooches from weepy and whiny fiancée Tila Tequila — along with a Range Rover-load of clothes and toiletries.

“They don’t care about the dogs. They are putting them to sleep to bury with Casey,” a sobbing Tequila told camera crews as hotel heiress Nicky Hilton and rocker offspring Bijou Phillips hauled the lap pups away.

One of the dogs, Zoey, was especially doted on by Johnson.

“Casey would want the dog buried with her, and Zoey was like a daughter to Casey,” a source told RadarOnline.

Phillips, however, answered “no” when asked if the dogs were going to be put down.

Earlier, Tequila, the pint-sized reality-TV star, called 911 to accuse Hilton and Phillips of busting into her house.

“Today these ‘mean girls’ bombarded my home, to try to take the pups away so they can put them to sleep so they can bury the dogs with Casey,” she wrote on her blog Tila’s Hotspot. “I had to call the police because they were getting very violent outside of my house . . .”

On TMZ and Radar videos, cops stand by while the celebutards load up racks-full of clothes, boxed-up insulin and toiletries — and Johnson’s two dogs — in Hilton’s black SUV. LAPD spokeswoman Officer Rosario Herrera said two squad cars were dispatched to Tequila’s house at around 2 p.m. to respond to a report of a “verbal dispute.”

Johnson’s remains will be flown to New York for a funeral Sunday, E! online reported.

Casey’s family, meanwhile, is livid over Tequila’s Twitter rants — especially the claim that she was planning to meet with the family.

“Not true,” a family spokesman told The Post.

Friends told The Post they’ve been horrified by Tequila’s behavior since Johnson’s death.

“She keeps Twittering about her grief and her ‘wifey,’ but we know she’s just using Casey’s death for her own publicity. It’s disgusting,” said a friend.

“We all want Casey to be remembered as a classy girl, not as somebody connected with someone like Tila.

“The truth is that if Tila did really care about Casey, where was she when Casey was truly in need, when Casey was on her own before New Year?

“Why did she leave her on her own for days without worrying something could have happened or realizing she was dead? Somebody needs to shut this evil little girl up.”

Cops interviewed Tequila — whose real name is Tila Nguyen — yesterday, particularly regarding online comments she made about Johnson’s abuse of prescription drugs, several news outlets reported.

But authorities say there were no signs of foul play or suicide.

It also emerged yesterday that Johnson, the daughter of Jets owner Woody Johnson, died owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. She was last heard from Dec. 29, and her body was found in her LA home six days later.

Court documents showed that Johnson owed $105,740 to a Los Angeles Porsche dealer, and owed a nanny service more than $20,000 for care provided to her adopted daughter.
