Luke Perry, who appeared on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” died on March 4 days after he suffered a stroke.

The actor died at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California, his representative told several news outlets, including The Associated Press.

A rep for Perry issued a statement about his death.

“Perry was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends,” the rep said in a statement, reported Variety.

The statement reads, “The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning. No further details will be released at this time.”

Last week, Perry, 52, suffered what was described as a “massive stroke” at his Southern California home and was taken to the hospital. Few details have been released about the actor’s condition until Monday’s news, which was broken by the entertainment news website.

Perry was a star on the CW show, “Riverdale,” and had numerous other film and TV acting credits to his name.

Before his passing, last week, fellow “90210” stars offered their well-wishes to Perry.

“My friend. Holding you tight and giving you my strength. You got this,” Shannen Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on the 1990s hit teen drama. She shared a photo on Instagram with the pair on set last week.

“No words can express what my heart feels hearing today’s shocking news. Let us all say a prayer for his speedy recovery,” co-star Ian Ziering wrote last week on Instagram along with a photo of the two.

On Monday, tributes began pouring in for the star.

Perry is survived by his daughter Sophie, son Jack, and other relatives.
