The cast of Charmed is in mourning following the passing of their co-star, Shannen Doherty, who lost her life to cancer at the age of 53.

Rose McGowan, who joined the show after Doherty’s departure, led the tributes, calling Doherty a “true lion heart” and a “warrior.” McGowan’s heartfelt message was followed by an outpouring of grief and fond memories from other Charmed alumni, including Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, and Ted King.

Doherty’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, confirmed the sad news on Saturday, July 13, revealing that the actress passed away surrounded by loved ones after a valiant battle with cancer.
