Shannen Doherty Speaks Out After Luke Perry’s Death: ‘Heartbroken’ | TODAY

[@hollywinslett7097]

This is getting to close to home. I’m 43, watched this show as a teenager. But between THIS and Shannon having cancer, just proves how anything can happen to any one of us but especially those of us over 40. God Rest His Soul! 💔

[@pdales2257]

Absolutely, also remembering what real problems are and not to sweat the small stuff. Life is too short to spend it being miserable. 🤗🤗

Love you Luke, a genuinely kind and generous man. Rest in peace

He reminded me of James Dean for sure . But James Dean died young too 😞

[@raqualmiguel8488]

So did Luke RIP

[@thandie67]

And instead of but. Then again James Dean was 24

[@sabreenashfaqmohammed9054]

@James Wright who us that

[@joemckim1183]

James Dean died as a young man just starting out without really showing us his full potential. Perry died as a relatively young middle aged man whos had a long career. Just nice to see Perry on another big show as a regular before he passed away.

[@debraroth2388]

I will never forget Luke perry a great actor who I loved watching on Beverly Hills 90210 he’s going to be missed a lot and send my love to his family and everyone on 90210 and the cast of river dale he’s gone too soon😥

[@tiffanywaldon4875]

Ronnett Norfleet That’s what I said. And they were the same age. Too young to go! I am so sad about this!

[@davidlape5206]

This is so incredibly sad to accept. I broke down in tears. At least we have the good memories of them. Focus on the positive, stay connected, and stay strong. RIP Kristoff. RIP Perry. You were both loved beyond measure.

[@76special]

Odd number years are usually sad, just keep that in mind. 2017 was awful. 2019 not looking better.

[@davidlape5206]

76special This really hit a lot of people hard. So far 2019 has been horrible. What’s sad is it’s not even age related. Suicide, heart attack, way too young for death. RIP. .

[@pdales2257]

Luke Perry RIP. You will be missed. Thank you for the great memories of 90210. Too young to die. 😓

[@isabellebrasher6530]

I had just started watching “ Riverdale” because Luke was in it and it brought back memories of watching 90210. 😥

[@linakiriy3301]

He was so talented and handsome.

[@Whoknowsuknow]

I've been getting 90210 and 90s nostalgia due to this news. He was such a big star in the 90s that he probably got typecast, and wasn't taken seriously enough as an actor.

[@erinhand]

I don't think so, he always had good roles.

[@rqchs]

i’m gonna miss him so much 🙁

[@mojavewolf1]

So sad 😞 He was so young !

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Why is that age considered young for a man, but old for a woman?

[@ms.williams6009]

Honestly he wasn’t young. He was a middle aged man. Just considered young for death.

[@goldengirl7625]

@@Michelle-pn9xt I think they mean young in the sense, it's considered a bit early of age to pass 50 is a little over middle aged, but there is still 25+ years of life expectancy.

[@Patrick19833]

Now she join heaven with Luke Perry. RIP Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry.

[@smshortcake99]

Brenda was his true love! I'm glad I still have my 90210 dolls.

[@pdales2257]

Me too. My college friends and I had a Dillon doll that we would place on the tv when 90210 came on. We worshipped him. Wow can't believe he is gone. Sad.

[@shutterbug_713]

I have just the girls. I bought 'em on eBay. I also bought Shannen Doherty a coachman costume, since she looks just right 4 a coachman when 1 day, Barbie and her BFF Midge go 2 a Winter Wonderland! I currently say it's a wig on the doll, with SUPER strong clips is Y it doesn't come off her head. I also want 2 dress up the real Jennie Garth like Cinderella! The doll in her likeness is a start.

[@maretvilla1531]

I'm from the Philippines. Back in college at my dorm, I don't remember seeing any 90210 dolls in the store but I collected their posters and one was on the wall above my head board. I would buy 🇺🇸 mags when they feature 90210 using my allowance and they were very expensive. I would cut some of their pictures from the mags and make them covers for my notebook and then I cover them with plastic to keep them clean and not get wet. 90s is the best decade ever and 90210, Dylan and Brenda, are part of the great memories. RIP Luke Perry. I now live here in the States and his passing is definitely a sad news for all.

[@celesteramirez3428]

So sad rip Luke perry forever my Dylan 💔

Engulfed in sadness and grief for the loss of Luke Perry, he was one of those guys that I knew if I met him in person we would be friends forever. It is apparent that all that knew him have expressed again and again what a kind soul he was. I sure hope there is a heaven because he deserves a front row seat. Thank you for all the great memories and your amazing looks, we lost you too soon. I hate loss, this sort of hurt it is the worse, only time will heal the pain in my heart.

James H didn’t know this

Not sure that would help a massive stroke - in fact might make bleeding worse. Good for heart attack, but not sure a stroke.

Don’t chew Motrin. That makes bleeding worse

Not true at all...after Ischemic stroke yea to help with long term effecta but if someone ia having a hemorrhagic stroke and you thin there blood even more it could bs detrimental.

[@magirus-deutzrundhaubersat2662]

just watching this made me start to shake all over. I am not able to acknowledge death anymore after loosing my grandparents. I fear and feel guilt for not attending any social gathering associated with a loss. Death makes me physically sick & has me forever suffering. I honestly believe if i ever have to see or hear of another personal death in my family that it will send my already broken mind into sheer chaos sending me to a deeper isolation than i have been living in for over a decade now.. I feel like i am at the starting line for a long distance race with no finish line. Soon i will keep running never looking back again..
