Xbox Lost all animals on the farm

[Gagankhullar]

I have 3 coops and 3 barns. Overnight, I lost all of the animals in them after i lost my pet few days ago.

Now I can’t:

• Add any new animals (the game says the buildings are already occupied), and
• Destroy the buildings (it says there are still animals inside).

Basically, the game thinks there are animals in these buildings even though they’re gone, so I can’t use the space at all.
Is there any solution or workaround to fix this?
