Shannen Doherty was seen smiling with friends in the last public photos taken of her before her death on Saturday.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star was photographed with her longtime pal Chris Cortazzo and a female friend on June 16 as they walked out of Kristy’s waterfront restaurant in Malibu, Calif.
The trio appeared to be in high spirits as they enjoyed each other’s company. Cortazzo even had an arm wrapped around Doherty.

While she was mentally preparing herself and her family for the worst, she said in November 2023 that she felt she had plenty of life left to live .
“I’m not done with living, I’m not done with loving, I’m not done with creating, I’m not done with, hopefully, changing things for the better,” she told People at the time.
Doherty said she was “hopeful” about her cancer treatment options on her podcast in June. However, in April, she admitted she had started preparing for death by going through her belongings. theshando/Instagram
“The positivity is that because my molecular structure of my cancer cells changed recently, it means there’s a lot more protocols for me to try,” she explained.
The self-described “cancer slayer” is survived by her mother, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty, and her brother, Sean Doherty.
