I met her last year. We talked about my cancer and treatment. I thanked her for helping me through my journey. I was looking forward to catching up with her next month. She fought hard and fought for a long time. May she rest in power.

She fought so hard. Her daddy and Luke were waiting to welcome her. May she rest in peace

I rarely comment on anything “Hollywood” but this woman was such a fighter and inspiration to so many battling cancer! RIP

I know exactly what she is saying. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. God blessed me that I didn't have any chemo chemo or radiation. Every year since my surgery I have been cancer free. I continue to praise God

53 is still so young and I’m saying this as a 23 year old. My mum is 53 and this has reminded me to give her a call and tell her how much I love her. Life is so short. Rest in peace. 🕊️ ❤

My mom had breast cancer just like Shannen, and she was at stage 4 but never told anyone. She had a great sense of humor and often entertained the doctors during her chemo appointments. She had a strong will to live, to keep fighting, and she fought very hard but sadly lost the battle to breast cancer on January 21, 2017 at the age of 52. She’s been gone 7 years now but I’ll always remember her great sense of humor, her smile, her laughter.
Shannen, you were taken too soon but you’re now at peace. Rest in peace.

Cancer is no joke.. I grew up on 90210. She has always been a familiar face. R.I.P. Shannen Doherty 🙏 🙏.

Such a brave lady, 90s icon, so sad.

I’m a double breast cancer survivor at 39 years old and this really hit home 😢 I’m so sorry, Shannon 💔

Rest in peace, beautiful girl. You were the main reason I watched the first few seasons of Charmed. You could never be replaced. My condolences to your friends and family.

My mom died at 49. As a 16 year old I didn't realize how young she was. So sad to lose Ms. Doherty at 53. May she rest in peace.

"We only die once. We live every day." Truer words could not have been said more. At least she went out with a bang. May Shannen rest in peace😥

Her battle was so long and so harsh. Rest in Peace.

I too had breast cancer diagnosed at age 41. I celebrated my 51st birthday on July 6th, I’m grateful! Rest well

This one hurts so much.
Growing up watching 90210 and Charmed, I am 11 years younger than Shannen...Watching her felt like I had a bigger sister.
I fell in love with her in 90210 and then head over heels in Charmed. She was just so authentic and honest.
It hurts. It still doesn't feel real.
We lost such a truly amazing woman.

I’m so glad she has peace. The divorce. The cancer battle. She had too much on her shoulders. Rest in heavenly peace Shannon. You were strong till the end.

Back then with Dylan and now with Brenda, I feel that I lost a family member. I grew up with 90210.
Rest In Peace Luke and Shannen ❤❤

At 49, my mother passed away. I was 16 at the time and had no idea how young she was. Such a tragedy, Ms. Doherty was only 53. Peace be with her as she rests.
