jQuery AJAX returns 500 (Internal Server Error) but works when I reload the page

I have a Like Status button that sends data using AJAX to the controller.

When I click the button, the button changes from "like" to "dislike" and all the classes and form action get changed as well.

The problem is, if I like the status, I see the changes reflected, but if I decided to dislike it without reloading the page, I get this error

GET http://localhost/socialnet/public/likestatusCount/undefined 500 (Internal Server Error)

If I reload the page and click dislike, my vote gets removed from the database and the button changes back to "like"

It works if I reload the page.

If I remove the get() request to retrieves the likes count, nothing happens and console.log() returns an empty row, I don't see any data being returned.

I opened laravel.log and I saw this error

local.ERROR: exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Trying to get property of non-object' in C:\xampp\htdocs\socialnet\app\Http\Controllers\FeedController.php:140

which is this line in getlikesCounter() method

return Response::json(['count' => StatusLikes::where('status_id', $status->id)->count()]);

I tried using the button id #like-status and #dislike-status for the selector but got the same error.

I am using Laravel 5.2

The form in the view

@if(\App\StatusLikes::where(['status_id' => $status->id, 'user_id' => Auth::user()->id])->first())
        {!! Form::open(['action' => 'FeedController@dislikeStatus', 'id' => 'dislike_form', 'class' => 'dislikeform']) !!}
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs dislike" data-user="{{ Auth::user()->id }}" data-status="{{ $status->id }}" id="dislike-status">
           <i class="fa fa-thumbs-down"></i> <span class="dislike-button-text">Dislike</span> <span class="dislike-button-counter">({{ $likes_count }})</span>
        </button>
       {!! Form::close() !!}
       @else
       {!! Form::open(['action' => 'FeedController@likeStatus', 'id' => 'like_form', 'class' => 'likeform']) !!}
         <button type="submit" class="btn btn-info btn-xs like" data-user="{{ Auth::user()->id }}" data-status="{{ $status->id }}" id="like-status">
           <i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i> <span class="like-button-text">Like</span> <span class="like-button-counter">({{ $likes_count }})</span>
          </button>
       {!! Form::close() !!}
@endif

The methods in the controller for like, dislike, and get likes count

    public function likeStatus() {
        if (Input::has('like_status')) {
            $status = Input::get('like_status');
            $selectedStatus = Status::find($status);

            $selectedStatus->likes()->create([
                'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
                'status_id' => $status
            ]);

            $response = [
                'status' => 'success',
                'msg' => 'You have liked this status',
            ];

            return Response::json($response);
            //return redirect(route('feed'));
        }
    }

    public function dislikeStatus() {

        if (Input::has('dislike_status')) {
            $status = Input::get('dislike_status');
            $selectedStatus = Status::find($status);

            $selectedStatus->likes()->where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->delete([
                'status_id' => $status
            ]);

            $response = array(
                'status' => 'success',
                'msg' => 'You have disliked this status',
            );

            return Response::json($response);
            //return redirect(route('feed'));

        }
    }

    public function getlikesCounter($id) {
        $status = Status::find($id);
        return Response::json(['count' => StatusLikes::where('status_id', $status->id)->count()]);
    }
