The series of snaps showed the two friends hugging, going on horseback rides together, and even cooking side-by-side.

For her caption, Gellar kept the message short but managed to say everything.

She used a single emoji: a broken heart.

Doherty spent over a decade fighting for her life

On July 13, 2024, Shannen Doherty died following a decade-spanning battle with stage 4 cancer.

What began as breast cancer had spread to other parts of her body.

Despite going into remission at one point, the cancer returned and spread.

She extended her life through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.

Ultimately, it was not enough. The actress was 53 at the time of her death.

Gellar and Doherty shared a friendship that began long before that. They were close for over 30 years.

Both actresses soared to fame in the 1990s.

Both were young women who navigated the complex world of the entertainment industry at a time when there was much less transparency.

The two forged a bond that endured until death did them part, so to speak. Three decades is a long time.

SMG remembers who her friend really was

Even before Shannen Doherty’s departure from Charmed, there were rumors about her.

People who had never met her formed opinions about the actress.

But SMG knew Doherty for who she was, not merely as a public figure or a series of rumors.

Fans can always mourn Doherty, and they will. But Gellar is paying tribute to the real woman who was part of her life for a third of a century.
