Shannen Doherty has died at the age of 53.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” actress passed away Saturday after a years-long battle with breast cancer.
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” her publicist, Leslie Sloane, said in a statement to PEOPLE on Sunday.
“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease,” Sloane continued. “The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”
Doherty was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, enduring a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation.
“When I dropped down to 92 pounds from chemo and was incredibly dehydrated, I had to still get out of bed,” she reflected on her health battle on her podcast in December 2023.
