BRAD Pitt has reportedly been left devastated that his daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has sought more distance from him.
The teen petitioned the Los Angeles court to have her last name changed, removing Pitt.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, an insider told Us Weekly.
The outlet confirmed that Shiloh hired and paid for her own lawyer to handle the case.
Brad, 60, is said to be crushed by his daughter's decision.

"Brad was devastated by this choice," a source told the outlet.
"To him, it was more than a change of name – it was a symbol of a deeper estrangement that has been brewing for years."
This isn't the first time one of the Fight Club star's children has spoken out against him or denounced his last name.
In November, Shiloh's older sister, Zahara, introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie during a sorority event at Spelman College.
Then, in May, their youngest daughter, Vivienne, was listed as Vivienne Jolie in a Broadway playbill for The Outsiders.
Brad and Angelina called it quits in September 2016.
They are also parents to Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; and Vivienne's twin brother Knox.
Although they have been separated for years, the couple continues to fight in court over custody and their winery, Chateau Miraval.
However, the children are said to have picked a side, and it doesn't appear to be Brad's.
"Sadly, Brad doesn't have much of a relationship with his kids," a second source told Us.

"He's not ready to give up on them, but knowing they are dropping his name is upsetting."
Yet another told the magazine, "Brad's putting on a brave face, but behind closed doors, he's finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with [what's happening]."
That same source told Us Weekly that Brad and Angelina's kids have decided to distance themselves from their father out of loyalty to Angelina.
"They've struggled to forgive and connect with Brad since the divorce," the source added.
"Their mom is the head of the household, and she's raised them with love and selflessness their whole lives. Once Brad left, it was very hard for them to see him go to war with her."
BRAD'S PAIN
These comments come after insiders close to Brad claimed that his children changing their names was a reminder that he's "lost" them.
"The reminders that he's lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad," the source said.
"He's still happy with Ines [de Ramon]," but the situation "pains him."
NAME DROP
Shiloh filed paperwork to have her name changed from Jolie-Pitt to Jolie last week, as soon as she turned 18.
No certain answer has been provided about Shiloh, or any of her siblings' decision not to go by Pitt.
A security guard for Brad and Angelina has claimed, however, that the actress tried to turn her kids against their father.
In March, Brad stopped pursuing custody of his children and settled instead for visitation rights.
However, the couple remains locked in legal disputes over their French vineyard.
The couple called it quits in 2016 after 12 years together, with Angelina citing “irreconcilable differences” in their divorce papers.
In court papers revealed after the split, Angelina's team claimed that Brad attacked his wife and two children on a plane in 2016 while under the influence of alcohol.
The FBI, as well as the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family, cleared Brad of the accusations, but some of his family members have spoken out against him.
In a leaked private post from 2020, Brad's son Pax called the actor a "world-class a***hole" and "despicable person."
The Instagram post added that Brad made his kids "tremble in fear."
Brad does not speak publicly often, if ever, about is family.
