Shannen Dhoerty, the star of “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Charmed” has passed away at the age of 53 after a long battle with cancer. Doherty’s longtime publicist, Leslie Sloane, shared the news in an exclusive statement on Sunday, July 14, noting that Doherty passed away on Saturday, July 13, surrounded by loved ones and her dog, Bowie.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Doherty openly shared her journey, revealing in November 2023 that her Stage 4 cancer had spread to her bones.
After initially going into remission in April 2017, Doherty faced a recurrence of the cancer in 2019, and by 2020, she disclosed her diagnosis of metastatic Stage 4 cancer. In June 2023, she revealed on Instagram that the cancer had spread to her brain, leading to surgery five months earlier to remove a brain tumor she had named Bob. Describing the experience as one of the scariest in her life, Doherty remained resilient, determined to continue her work despite her illness.
The family has requested privacy to grieve during this difficult time.
