“A lot has happened in this past week for me. Everything is happening so fast,” she wrote in her post from March 5, 2019. “I made it back from Malawi just in time to be here with my family, And in the past 24 hours I have received an overwhelming amount of love and support.”
“I’m not really sure what to say or do in this situation, it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle, especially when it’s all happening in the public eye,” Sophie added. “So bear with me and know that I am grateful for all the love. Just, being grateful quietly.”
“I was crying. I was like, ‘Yes, of course I’ll be apart of this,’ ” she said in 2019 on Kelly Ripa’s talk show , “Live.” “It’s like his wish. It’s beautiful and very special.”

“It was shocking,” she said about his death. “I have a very visceral reaction whenever someone brings up Luke because as someone with cancer — and a really horrible cancer at Stage 4 — I thought I would be the first to go. So when it was Luke, it really just sent me for a tailspin.”
Doherty admitted that “there were moments” that her and Luke “were not so close” when they worked together on “Beverly Hills, 90210.”
“But later we became extremely close,” she added. “So to lose him as our relationship was just sort of flourishing as friends, and our respect and admiration for each other was coming to its fullest potential . . . it was just very hard.”
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Sloane said in a statement to People on Sunday.

“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease,” Sloane continued. “The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”
