 Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed," passed away on July 13, 2024, at the age of 53. She had been battling stage 4 breast cancer, which had spread to her brain. Her death has been confirmed by various sources, and tributes have been pouring in from fans and colleagues alike, highlighting her impactful career and resilience in the face of her illness​

 Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in the ’90s hit shows “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” has died, her publicist told People. She was 53.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” publicist Leslie Sloane told People. “On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”

Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Variety reported. She announced she had gone into remission in 2017, only for the cancer to return a few years later.

In 2020, she announced she had been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer, which began spreading throughout her body.

In a podcast episode released earlier this year, Doherty revealed she had begun sorting through her belongings, hoping to spare her family members from the painful task following her death.

“My priority at the moment is my mom,” Doherty said. “I know it’s going to be hard for her if I pass away before her, but — so sorry, this is a hard one for me — but because it’s going to be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier. Meaning that, I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with. I don’t want her to have four storage units filled with furniture.”
