“I
am
absolutely
heartbroken
over
the
passing
of
Shannen
Doherty.”
the Newsroom
alum
wrote
on
her
Instagram
Stories
July
14. “When
I
was
first
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer
I
remembered
how
she
bravely
let
the
world
into
her
journey
and
reached
out
to
her.
We
became
instant
friends-
which
I
honestly
couldn’t
comprehend
at
times
because
watching
her
on
90210
was
everything
to
me
when
I
was
10.”
“We
bonded
through
a
shared
battle
and
a
desire
to
help
other
women,”
she
continued. “Looking
back
on
the
last
text
she
sent
me
just
a
couple
months
ago,
she
asked
how
I
was
doing
and
if
she
could
do
anything
for
me…
true
to
form,
Shannen
was
offering
her
support
even
though
she
was
in
the
final
stage
of
fighting
this
horrific
disease.”
Olivia
concluded
her
statement
with
a
heartfelt
message
to
her
late
friend. “Cancer
is
really
f–king
scary
and
Shannen
faced
it
with
such
dignity,
strength
and
grace,”
she
expressed. “I’m
sending
all
of
my
love
to
her
mother
who
was
her
best
friend,
hero
and
champion
every
step
of
the
way.
Fly
so
high,
my
friend.”
