Perry died surrounded by friends and family on Monday. A press statement released by the Perrys' through a representative thanked everyone for their support and prayers, but declined to make any further statement, requesting instead on behalf of the family that in place of flowers, donations should be made to fight colorectal cancer and to St. Jude’s Children Hospital.

In another interview with “Entertainment Tonight” before Perry’s passing, another castmate, Shannen Doherty reported she and the late actor had been in touch since 2015. He reached out to her when she went public with the news of her fight with cancer.

In an emotional voice, the 47-year-old who played Brenda Walsh, Dylan McKay’s love interest said she could not talk about his stroke without crying. “It’s Luke,” she said, “And he’s my Dylan.” This was before the actor finally gave up the ghost. The actress then asked family and friends to keep sending him positive and good thoughts, in her caption of a picture she posted on Instagram of the two of them.

“My friend, holding you tight and giving you strength. You got this.” - Shannen.

Doherty has been inconsolable since his passing, and can’t bring herself to believe that her friend is no more.
