Alyssa Milano paid tribute to Shannen Doherty after the latter star’s death.
“It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of,” Milano, 51, said about her “Charmed” co-star in a statement to The Post on Sunday.
“She was a talented actress, beloved by many and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her,” the statement added.
Doherty died Saturday after a years-long battle with breast cancer. She was 53.
Her publicist, Leslie Sloane, shared the news in a statement to PEOPLE on Sunday.
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Sloane said. “The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”
Doherty, Milano and Holly Marie Combs starred on “Charmed.”
The show, about a trio of sisters who are witches, aired on The WB (now The CW) from 1998 to 2006.
Doherty left the series after Season 3 and was replaced by Rose McGowan.
In December, Combs, 50, claimed that Milano got Doherty fired from “Charmed.”
“We were told [by Alyssa] it’s her or [Shannen] and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment,’” Combs recalled producer Jonathan Levin allegedly telling her about Doherty’s firing in the early 2000s on Doherty’s podcast
Additionally, Doherty claimed that Milano and her mother, Lin, stopped her from visiting Combs in the hospital after she had a tumor removed from her uterus.
Milano’s mom denied the duo’s claims.
The “Who’s The Boss?” star addressed the accusations at a “Charmed” panel at MegaCon Orlando in February.
“I will just say that I’m sad,” said Milano. “I don’t think it’s really that I’m sad for me or for my life or how it does or does not affect my life,”
