Actress Shannen Doherty, 53, dies after 'battle with cancer': Report.

NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Actress Shannen Doherty, known for her appearances on 'Beverly Hills 90210' and 'Charmed' has died at the age of 53, her publicist told People.

"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," Leslie Sloane told People.

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.

The actress in April said she would get rid of many of her belongings amid her battle with cancer.

"My priority at the moment is my mom... 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,” Doherty said on her podcast.

A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Doherty moved to Los Angeles with her family at age 7 and, within a few years, became an actor.

As a child star, she worked steadily in such TV series as “Little House on the Prairie,” in which she played Jenny Wilder. She detoured as a teenager to the big screen in “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” (1985) and “Heathers.”

In 1990, the doe-eyed, dark-haired actor won her breakout role as Brenda Walsh in producer Aaron Spelling’s hit teenage melodrama set in posh Beverly Hills.
