The entertainment industry and fans around the world are mourning the loss of Shannen Doherty. The beloved "Charmed" actress passed away on July 13 at the age of 53.

In her last public appearance, Shannen was seen enjoying a quiet evening with her loved ones. The actress was with her longtime friend, Chris Cortazzo, and her mother, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty, taking a stroll in Malibu, California.

The trio had just finished dinner at Kristy's Waterfront Restaurant, a serene spot with picturesque views. Unbeknownst to them, the moment served as the backdrop for one of Shannen's last public outings.

The photos captured the trio enjoying every moment, radiating genuine warmth and camaraderie. Chris, positioned between Shannen and her mother, had his arm around his dear friend, conveying a sense of protection.

All three were dressed casually in jeans, with Rosa and Chris matching in black tops. Shannen opted for a simple yet stylish grey short-sleeved cardigan paired with a black cap.

The photos showed the joy and well-being Shannen found in the company of her loved ones. This moment reflected her positive attitude, even after a long and difficult battle with cancer.

Her publicist confirmed her death, marking the end of a courageous journey that inspired many. "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 battling the disease," Leslie Sloane said .

"The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace," Leslie continued in her statement.

Chris was deeply affected by Shannen's passing. He took to Instagram to share a heartfelt video filled with memories of their time together. Alongside the video, Chris wrote an emotional tribute to Shannen, referring to her as his "dear friend and heart."

Reflecting on the laughter and countless memories they shared, Chris honored Shannen's role in his life. He described her as his "protector, best friend and divine wife." His pain was palpable as he wrote , "My heart is broken," before concluding with the touching words, "I love you forever, my sweet, dear friend."

Just two days after Shannen passed away on Monday, July 15, her mother expressed her sincere gratitude to all the fans who supported her during this difficult time. Reflecting on the memory of her daughter, Rosa shared a touching tribute.

"She is my precious little girl and my heart," Rosa said in a statement. "Our family would like to thank everyone who has shown their love and support for our Shannen throughout her life. We are truly grateful."

In a heartfelt episode of her podcast, "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty," Shannen and her friend Chris shared an open and candid conversation. The actress revealed details about her will and her wishes for her funeral arrangements.

During their chat, the two friends expressed their desire to never say goodbye. When Chris joked about possibly passing away before Shannen, she quickly reminded him that it wasn't an option since he was the executor of her will.

"That's not going to happen. Dude, you're the executor of my will. You're going to be in charge of everything when I'm dead," Shannen said . She also stressed that she wanted Chris to take care of her mother after her death. Speaking about her funeral, the actress humorously mentioned that she only wanted three attendants: Chris, her mother and her dog Bowie.

She explained that this list came to mind when she faced brain surgery in January, fearing she might not survive. Shannen expressed that she did not want her funeral to be a somber affair, but rather a celebration of love, a joyful gathering akin to a party.

The star, best known for her role on Beverly Hills 90210, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. Since then, she has been open about her health struggles. She said her dog Bowie, named after the late David Bowie, had an uncanny intuition about her health issues. That was before she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The Tennessee native recalled her dog obsessively sniffing her right side. It was the same side where the cancer was later discovered, signaling an early warning that something was wrong.

Following the diagnosis and treatments, including surgery and chemotherapy, Bowie's behavior changed and he became even more protective. Shannen described her dog's presence as "insanely protective," making it difficult for anyone to get close to her. This demonstrated the deep bond they shared.

Shannen's resilient spirit was a gift from her mother, Rosa. In a candid November 2023 interview, the "Beverly Hills 90210" star revealed that her mother was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm when she was just eight years old, which gave her a fierce spirit.

Reflecting on her upbringing, Shannen said her mother was a determined woman. This quality allowed her to learn the importance of perseverance from a very young age.

At the time, Shannen recalled her mother's words, stressing that giving up was never an option. She described herself as a lifelong fighter, attributing her strength to the way she was raised.

Throughout her health struggles, Shannen relied heavily on her loved ones. Her mother, Rosa, was a constant source of inspiration and guidance. She expressed deep gratitude for her mother's influence, admitting that she took her into account in every decision she made.

Shannen also mentioned the importance of her brother, her children, and her pets in her life. This highlighted the strong bonds that kept her grounded and motivated.

In an April episode of her podcast "Let's Be Clear," Shannen shared that her main concern was for her mother amid her ongoing health issues. The late actress expressed concern for her frrrrrrrrffffffffffffffffffffffff, noting that it would be incredibly difficult for her.

Shannen then stressed her desire to avoid burdening her mother with unnecessary responsibilities. She noted that she did not want her to have to deal with several storage rooms full of furniture.

Shannen then revealed that she had started sorting through her belongings and had even given up on her dream of owning a property in Tennessee. She admitted that giving up on that dream was a deeply emotional and difficult process. She felt like she was giving up on the vision of building a property with a house for herself and her mother.
