In a tragic turn of events, the entertainment world mourns the loss of Shannon Dougherty, who passed away at the age of 53 on Saturday, July 13.
The beloved actress, known for her iconic roles in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” fought valiantly against breast cancer for several years.
Her publicist, Leslie Sloan, confirmed the heartbreaking news, expressing the profound sorrow felt by those who knew her.
Dougherty’s journey with cancer began with a glimmer of hope when she announced her remission in 2017.
However, the battle took a devastating turn in February 2020 when she revealed that she was facing stage 4 breast cancer.
During a poignant virtual appearance on “Good Morning America” in October 2021, she candidly shared her struggle, emphasizing her determination to fight for her life amidst the challenges.
As the months progressed, the situation became increasingly dire.
In November 2023, Dougherty disclosed that her cancer had spread to her bones, following earlier metastasis to her brain.
This news shocked fans and friends alike, highlighting the relentless nature of the disease that she had been bravely confronting.
