On Monday, Rosa Doherty released a statement with People following the Beverly Hills, 90210 star’s untimely death.
“She is my beautiful girl and my heart,” Rosa said.
“Our family wants to thank everyone who has shown love and support to our Shannen throughout her life.
“We are truly grateful.”
Shannen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.
She went into remission two years later; however, the disease returned in stage 4.
The Charmed star announced that her cancer had returned in 2020 and had spread to her bones in 2023.
Unfortunately, his battle ended on Saturday, as announced by his publicist Leslie Sloane the next day.
“It is with heavy hearts that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Leslie said in a statement.
“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.
“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie.”
The statement concluded by asking fans to give his family privacy.
SELLING YOUR BELONGINGS
Just months before Shannen’s death, she spoke out on her Let’s Be Clear podcast, saying she sold her assets to make things easier for Rosa.
“My priority right now is my mother – I know it will be difficult for her if I predecease her,” Shannen explained at the time.
“As it will be very difficult for her, I want other things to be much easier.
“I don’t want her to have a lot of things to take care of. I don’t want her to have four storage rooms full of furniture.”
Shannen Doherty’s Cancer Battle
- In 2015, Shannen revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
- Two years later, the actress said she was in remission.
- In 2020, Shannen revealed that her cancer had returned at stage 4.
- In early 2023, Shannen underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her head after the cancer spread to her brain.
- In November 2023, the actress revealed that the cancer had spread to her bones.
Although she said selling her stuff took an emotional toll on her, Shannen said it was the “right thing to do.”
“Because you’re helping the people you leave behind have a cleaner, easier transition.”
In November last year, the actress credited her mother for her strength.
“I come from a determined woman,” Shannen previously said People.
“She impressed upon me when I was a kid, ‘You don’t give up. You just have to work hard at it.'”
Shannen went on to say that she has “always been a fighter.”
“I was raised that way to be very strong and be able to do anything I wanted.”
In addition to selling her assets, Shannen filed for an official divorce from her ex-husband, Kurt Iswarienko, the day before he passed away.
