The Beverly Hills, 90210 star passed away on July 13, 2024. Shannen was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015 and went into remission two years later after undergoing treatments and multiple surgeries.
In February 2020, Shannen emotionally shared on Good Morning America that her cancer had returned, and it was stage 4. Last June, Shannen revealed that the cancer had spread to her brain.
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” her publicist, Leslie Sloane, shared. “On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”
Shannen’s friends have been mourning the loss on social media with memories of their time with the actress.

RIP Shannen Doherty. I met her during the Full House days. She was lovely and had a beautiful smile. Today, I’ll also think about the women in my life who all succumbed to cancer – my mom, my sister, Sharon and my niece, Shannon, who all were so strong and so beautiful.… pic.twitter.com/LEWLPCKnbK
