Actress Shannen Doherty has died aged 53 after a long battle with cancer.

The star was known for her roles in Beverly Hills 90210, as well as for her roles in Charmed and Little House on the Prarie.

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2015, and entered remission two years later.

However, in 2020, her cancer returned as stage four.

She told Good Morning America at the time: "I don’t think I’ve processed it. It’s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. There’s definitely days when I say “why me?”, and then I go, “well, why not me, who else besides me deserves this?” None of us do."

Later, she revealed that her cancer had spread to her brain, and was terminal.
