The closest I can think of would be the unfortunate companion of the Black Widow pulsar, being eroded by its ferocious high-energy wind (but I vaguely recall that to be well below a solar mass, at least these days). Beyond that in both mass and distance are the handful of X-ray flares from otherwise normal galactic nuclei, which fit in energy and duration with expectations for the tidal disruption and subsequent accretion of a star by a previously quiescent massive central black hole.
