Shannen Doherty's former co-stars from Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, like Alyssa Milano, have honored the actress with their kind words.

Doherty passed away from breast cancer at the age of 53 on Saturday, July 13th. She had been battling the disease for nine years since her initial diagnosis. After going into remission in 2017, the cancer resurfaced in February 2020, progressing to stage four and spreading to her brain and bones.

The entertainment industry is expressing their condolences to Doherty following the news of her passing, which was confirmed by her publicist, Leslie Sloane. Sloane mentioned that Doherty was loved as a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, and was surrounded by her loved ones and her dog, Bowie, in her final moments. The family has requested privacy to mourn their loss.

Milano was one of the people who honored the star. Doherty and Milano had a public argument. Milano, who acted as Phoebe Halliwell, stated in a message shared with Variety: "It was clear that Shannen and I had a difficult relationship, but deep down, I admired and respected her."

She was a skilled actress, adored by a lot of people and the world feels a loss without her. My sympathy goes out to all those who cared for her.

Other actors from Charmed who have shared their condolences include Ted King, known for his role as Andy Trudeau, and Ted Krause, who portrayed Leo Wyatt.

"We made a unique TV duo that will always be remembered. My thoughts are with your family. Sleep peacefully Shannen, sleep peacefully," King wrote, while Wyatt shared: "You demonstrated true courage to me. You inspired me to be brave and live with intention. To understand your worth and stay committed to your goals. Always in our hearts! So incredibly sad."

At the same time, Dorian Gregory, who portrayed Darryl Morris, praised Doherty as a "powerful, remarkable, extraordinary woman", expressing: "Shannen... when words fail, you don't need them. With admiration and love for your strength, kindness, and beauty, it's difficult to find words..."

The actors from Beverly Hills, 90210 also showed their respect for Doherty. Jason Priestly, who acted as her on-screen brother, Brandon Walsh, expressed his shock and sorrow over her passing. He describes her as a powerful presence and will dearly miss her. He sends his love and support to her family during this difficult time.

You played a significant role in teaching me about love. I will miss you more than I can comprehend at the moment. Thank you for being you."

Jennie Garth, the actress who portrayed Kelly Taylor, expressed her deep sadness over the passing of her close friend Shannen. She described Shannen as one of the bravest individuals she has ever met, and is still trying to come to terms with the loss.

The bond we shared was genuine and sincere. Despite constantly being compared and competing against each other, the reality of our relationship was one of mutual respect and admiration.

She was brave, driven, and full of love and kindness. I will miss her dearly and will always hold her memory close to my heart. My thoughts are with her family and Bowie during this difficult time.

Actress Tori Spelling and Gabrielle Carteris, who played Donna Martin and Andrea Zuckerman on the show, also shared their thoughts in memory of their co-star. Spelling expressed how they all shared a special bond and connection, despite not having the right words to express her feelings at the moment.

In the meantime, Carteris mentioned the passing of their fellow actor Luke Perry in 2019, stating: "Such a young age - such a tragic loss. Rest in peace Shannon. I believe Luke is waiting with open arms to welcome you with love."
