Actress Shannen Doherty has died aged 53 after a long battle with cancer. The Charmed and Beverly Hills 90210 star’s longtime publicist Leslie Sloane confirmed the sad news in a statement to People magazine on Sunday. “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,” Sloane said.

In 1998, Spelling cast her in what was to be her second hit show, Charmed, about the three Halliwell sisters, who also happened to be witches. Despite the show’s popularity, Doherty left after three seasons, reportedly due to on-set tensions with co-star Alyssa Milano. Her character Prue was killed off and replaced with her long-lost half-sister Paige Matthews, played by Rose McGowan.
