Shannen Doherty has died at the age of 53. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” actress died Saturday after a years-long battle with breast cancer.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the death of actress Shannen Doherty,” her rep, Leslie Sloane, told People on Sunday.

“On Saturday, July 13, he lost his battle with cancer after many years of battling 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 that people respect her privacy at this time so she can grieve.”

The battle with cancer

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.

“When I got to 42kg from chemo and was incredibly dehydrated, I had to get out of bed again,” she said in a podcast that did in December 2023 where she recounted the battle she was fighting for her health.

“My then husband [Kurt Iswarienko] she was begging me to keep fighting, and my mother was literally pulling me out of bed and to the doctor. At that time I felt that I would not be able to survive.”

In 2017, Doherty announced that her cancer was in remission, but in February 2020 announced that she was battling stage 4 breast cancer.

In November 2023, Doherty revealed that stage 4 breast cancer had spread to her bones, after previously spreading to her brain.

“I don’t want to die,” he told People at the time.

“I’m not done with living. I’m not done with love. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hoping to change things for the better,” Doherty continued. “I just haven’t – I’m not done.”

A month later, she revealed that she found out her ex-husband, Kurt Iswarienko, had been cheating on her for two years, just hours before he underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour, which she named Bob.

“Bob had to be removed and biopsied, and then I had to have more radiation,” she told People in November 2023. “It’s been a journey. Definitely one of the scariest things I’ve ever been through in the whole world.” my life”.
