View Date:2025-01-11 10:37:44
Shannen Doherty's Beverly Hills, 90210 family is mourning the loss of their former costar.
After her death at age 53 was announced July 14, several fellow alumni of the hit '90s drama series shared memories and tributes to the actress, who had battled cancer for years before her passing.
Jason Priestley, who played her character Brenda Walsh's twin brother Brandon Walsh, posted a pic of the two on the set of the show's 1993 high school graduation episode.
"Shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Shannen," the 54-year-old wrote on Instagram. "She was a force of nature and I will miss her. Sending love and light to her family in this dark time."
Gabrielle Carteris, 63, who played Andrea Zuckerman on 90210, wrote in her own tribute on Instagram, "So young - so sad. May you RIP Shannon. I know Luke is there with open arms to love you."
The former SAG-AFTRA union president is referring to Luke Perry, who played Brenda's main love interest on the show. He died in 2019 at 52 after suffering a stroke.
Shannen remained friends with many 90210 costars after leaving the show in 1994 after the first four seasons.
She hosted a few on her podcast and joined them at fan conventions and on the short-lived BH90210 mockumentary series in 2019.
Last July, Shannen and Ian Ziering, who played Steve Sanders, both attended the 50th birthday party of Brian Austin Green, who played David Silver and once dated her in real life.
Brian Austin Green, who once dated Shannen briefly in real life, shared his own tribute to the actress following news of her death.
"Shan. My sister," the actor wrote on his Instagram Stories. "You loved me through everything. You were a big part of my understanding of love. I'll miss you more than I know how to process right now. Thank you for the gift of you."

“Shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Shannen,” the actor, who played Brandon Walsh, the twin brother of the actress' character Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210, expressed on Instagram. “She was a force of nature and I will miss her. Sending love and light to her family in this dark time.”
"Shan. My sister," the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum wrote on his Instagram Stories. "You loved me through everything. You were a big part of my understanding of love. I'll miss you more than I know how to process right now. Thank you for the gift of you."
“So young – so sad,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 and former SAG-AFTRA president wrote on Instagram. “May you RIP Shannon. I know Luke is there with open arms to love you."
"It's no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of," she said of her Charmed costar in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "She was a talented actress, beloved by many, and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her."
"A true lion heart," the actress, who replaced Shannen on Charmed in 2001 after she left the series, wrote in a comment on the late star's final Instagram post. "What a warrior. Your daddy is holding his best girl now."
She continued, "Love to your mama, your dog and all who love you fiercely. Love to Holly [Marie Combs]. Love to all of your legions of fans that I know you loved right back. If there was anyone who looked squarely at death and said no thanks, it was you dear Shannen. My head bows to you brave one. All love forever."
"You showed me what strength is," the actor, who played Leo Wyatt on Charmed, shared on Instagram. "You taught me to be fearless and live with purpose. To know your value and stick to your determination."
"Forever loved!" he added. "Truly heartbroken."
"I am absolutely heartbroken over the passing of Shannen Doherty." the Newsroom alum wrote on her Instagram Stories July 14. "When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer I remembered how she bravely let the world into her journey and reached out to her. We became instant friends- which I honestly couldn’t comprehend at times because watching her on 90210 was everything to me when I was 10."
"We bonded through a shared battle and a desire to help other women," she continued. "Looking back on the last text she sent me just a couple months ago, she asked how I was doing and if she could do anything for me… true to form, Shannen was offering her support even though she was in the final stage of fighting this horrific disease."
Olivia concluded her statement with a heartfelt message to her late friend. "Cancer is really f--king scary and Shannen faced it with such dignity, strength and grace," she expressed. "I’m sending all of my love to her mother who was her best friend, hero and champion every step of the way. Fly so high, my friend."
"Thank you for being here," the actress, who is battling multiple sclerosis, commented on Shannen's final Instagram post. "Thank you for showing us how to keep going. Rebel heart."
"Love you," the actress wrote in a comment on Shannen's last Instagram post. "Fly high lovely kind sweetheart woman. This hits hard. Your heart,courage and kindness will be so missed."
"Your bravery and ability to share your Cancer journey left something 'in' people," the Oscar winner wrote on Instagram. "Rest well. God bless your loved ones."
The actor, who guest starred on Beverly Hills, 90210 as Rick, who Shannen's character Brenda dated briefly after meeting him in Paris, wrote on X, "RIP Shannen," adding a crying emoji.
The Wicked star wrote in an Instagram comment, "Fly with the angels sweet precious soul!"
"My heart is broken," he wrote on Twitter. "It was a pleasure to meet Shannen Doherty while filming our movie Fortess a little over 2 years ago! She was full of warm energy and positive vibes. So young. So talented. May she rest well."
"RIP Shannen Doherty," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "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."
Alongside an article reporting Shannen's passing, the journalist wrote on Instagram, "I'm so sad to hear this news..."
"Such sad news," the Community actress wrote on Twitter. "I was hoping she would beat the disease again."
