She died in 2019 at 52 of a massive stroke. Sadly, in July 2024 Doherty passed away at the age of 53, after courageously battling cancer for several years. Although they’re not around physically anymore, Garth shared that she continues to feel very much in touch with them.
“I live in a world where they still are alive in my mind, so it’s very hard to understand that they’re not here physically,” said Jennie Garth.
Garth’s tribute to Spelling and her reflections on Perry and Doherty underscore the enduring bonds forged during their time on “Beverly Hills, 90210”. As it turns out, these friendships have definitely endured the decades, and the demands of life outside the series.
“It doesn’t make sense. It still doesn’t make sense to my brain,” she added.
