Actress Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, has sadly lost her long battle with cancer at the age of 53. Doherty's passing was confirmed by her publicist Leslie Sloane, who stated that she passed away surrounded by her loved ones, including her dog Bowie. The family has requested privacy as they grieve during this difficult time.

Prior to her death, Doherty openly discussed her ongoing chemotherapy treatments and the mixture of fear and hope that accompanied them on her podcast, Let's Be Clear With Shannen Doherty. On the June 23 episode, she shared her latest health update and spoke about the uncertainty surrounding her treatment duration.

Having initially been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2015, Doherty revealed last November that the cancer had spread to her bones. Reflecting on her treatment journey, she acknowledged the unpredictable nature of her situation, with the duration of her chemotherapy remaining uncertain. Doherty expressed both fear and a newfound sense of hope, as recent changes in her cancer cells indicated the availability of additional treatment protocols.

Facing the challenge of receiving two different chemotherapy treatments in a single day, Doherty admitted to feeling anxious about the unknown side effects. Furthermore, she emphasized the feeling of losing control over her life, especially with the combination of divorce and cancer diagnosis. However, Doherty found strength in maintaining a positive outlook, focusing on her goals, spending time with her family, and advocating for research and a cure.

In her final episode of Let's Be Clear, which aired on July 8, Doherty shared her excitement about joining a Charmed rewatch podcast, along with her former co-star Holly Marie Combs. Unfortunately, it remains unclear how many episodes were recorded before her passing.

Shannen Doherty's publicist confirmed her passing on Saturday, July 13, after her years-long battle against cancer. She will be remembered as a dedicated actress, beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Fans and the entertainment industry are mourning the loss of this talented individual, who demonstrated strength and resilience throughout her fight against cancer.
