(NEXSTAR) – Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in the ’90s hit shows “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” has died, her publicist told People. She was 53.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” publicist Leslie Sloane told People. “On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”

Doherty had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Variety reported. She announced she had gone into remission in 2017, only for the cancer to return a few years later.

In 2020, she announced she had been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer, which began spreading throughout her body.

In a podcast episode released earlier this year, Doherty revealed she had begun sorting through her belongings, hoping to spare her family members from the painful task following her death.

“My priority at the moment is my mom,” Doherty said. “I know it’s going to be hard for her if I pass away before her, but — so sorry, this is a hard one for me — but because it’s going to be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier. Meaning that, I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with. I don’t want her to have four storage units filled with furniture.”

Doherty has long been in the public eye, starting her acting career when she was still a child with roles in “Voyagers!” and “Little House on the Prairie.”

Her first major role came with the 1988 dark comedy movie “Heathers.” Not long after, she was back on TV with the hit show “Beverly Hills, 90210” as Brenda Walsh.

In the latter half of the 1990s, she played Prue Halliwell, one of three witch sisters on the show “Charmed.”

In recent years, even amid her battle with cancer, Doherty continued acting. She made guest appearances in popular TV shows like “Riverdale,” as well as in reboots of “90210” and “Heathers.”
