It has been confirmed that Shannen Doherty has died after years of living with cancer. The age of her was 53.

It breaks my heart to say that actress Shannen Doherty has died. She died of cancer on July 13, after a long battle with the disease for many years, Doherty’s longtime publicist Leslie Sloane told PEOPLE on July 14 in an exclusive statement.

The loving daughter, sister, aunt, and friend was with her family and her dog, Bowie.” “The family asks for privacy right now so they can mourn in peace,” Sloane said.

The actress from Beverly Hills, 90210 was first told she had breast cancer in 2015. In November 2023, she was honest with PEOPLE about her Stage 4 breast cancer, which had spread to her bones, and said she didn’t “want to die.”

“I wanna keep living.” I still love people. I have more things to make. “Hopefully, I’m not done making things better,” she told PEOPLE. “I am not finished yet.”
The actress said in April 2017 that she had gone into remission after being diagnosed with cancer in 2015. However, by 2019, the cancer had come back. Doherty told everyone the next year that she had been diagnosed with metastatic stage 4 cancer. The actress then said in June 2023 that the cancer had spread to her brain and that she had surgery to remove it.

Her Instagram post in June 2023 said that the cancer had spread to her brain and that she had surgery five months before to remove a brain tumor she had named Bob.

She told PEOPLE in August 2023, “He had to be taken out and cut up to see his pathology.” “There is no doubt that it was one of the scariest things I have ever been through.”

The actress was determined to keep working even though she had the disease.
