ACTRESS Sarah Michelle Gellar has shared a heartwarming tribute on Instagram in honor of her late friend, Beverly Hills, 90210 star Shannen Doherty. Shannen died on Saturday, July 13, 2024, after a nine-year battle with breast cancer that later spread to her bones. Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a series of photos showcasing her and Shannen Doherty's friendship over the years.
She noted that the duo had been friends for over three decades. "How do you possibly find the right words to sum up 30 years of friendship? "I keep reminding myself it only hurts this much because, there was so much love," Sarah continued. "Thank you, for all your kind words and support.
I love all the messages about how @theshando was important to you. "So let’s honor her. More than anything, Shan loves animals, especially dogs.
In her memory let’s support our favorite animal charities." In her post, Sarah tagged the Lange Foundation, a nonprofit rescue "dedicated to saving injured & abandoned pets from the overcrowded LA shelters." "Whether that’s donating money, stopping by your local shelter and just offering cuddles and walks to animals housed there or even just tagging them in the comments so other people can learn about their work," Sarah said, urging her followers to support animals in need to honor Shannen.
"I know that would make our girl happy (and illicit that deep throaty laugh we all loved)," she added, alongside three broken heart emojis. Sarah and Shannen first met while doing promot.
