The entertainment world is grieving the loss of Shannen Doherty, who passed away on July 13 at age 53. Her last public appearance was a serene evening in Malibu with close friends and family. Shannen, her longtime friend Chris Cortazzo, and her mother, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty, were seen enjoying dinner at Kristy’s waterfront restaurant. Photos showed a warm interaction, with Chris and Rosa in black tops and Shannen in a gray cardigan.
Publicist Leslie Sloane confirmed, “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”
Chris Cortazzo was deeply affected, sharing a video tribute, calling Shannen his “beloved friend and heart.” Shannen, known for “Beverly Hills 90210,” was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She often spoke of how her dog, Bowie, sensed her illness. Her mother’s struggle with a brain aneurysm influenced Shannen’s resilience and determination.
