Shannen Doherty was honored by some of her former Beverly Hills, 90210 castmates at 90s Con this week.
The 53-year-old actress died on July 13 after battling cancer for multiple years. She rose to fame in the early 90s while portraying Brenda Walsh on the popular teen drama.
Brian Austin Green, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, and Gabrielle Carteris reunited on stage in Daytona Beach, Florida and paid tribute to the Charmed star.
Green, 51, said about his late friend, 'She's to me an amazing example for everyone of [how] she put her own challenges and her own health things aside and really wanted to share with everyone the experience of all of it, and it was incredibly brave.'
He added, 'Going through something as difficult as that and being open to being completely transparent and sharing with everyone is brave.'

Tori Spelling was slated to appear at the three-day-long event but cancelled days before it started on September 13.
Carteris, 63, shared that in the wake of her cancer struggle, Shannen became an inspiration to people in her own life.
The star revealed, 'I have a friend right now who is really sick with cancer, and she said that Shannen really inspired her.
'I think that her legacy is truly making a difference for those who are struggling to know that there’s hope.'
Gabrielle shared with People at the time of Doherty's death: 'Shannen was young and so courageous. By sharing her journey, she has helped so many.'
And online, she wrote, 'So young - so sad. May you RIP Shannen. I know Luke is there with open arms to love you,' referring to Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Luke Perry, who died in 2019 at 52.
For her part, Garth, 52, took to social media in July to pay her respects to the former teen star, writing, 'Our connection was real and honest. We were so often pitted against each other, but none of that reflected the truth of our real relationship which was one built on mutual respect and admiration.'
Jason Priestley, 55, who played Brenda's brother on the series, recently told DailyMail.com about the collective cast bond: 'We all felt like family. We had fun at work and outside of work too.'

He said, 'Shannen was a great kid. She obviously had some struggles like everybody and was very forthcoming about all that.'
The Hollywood fixture added, 'Being able to spend as much time with her as I did, especially in the last few years, is something I’m thankful for.'
'So when she passed, I felt there was nothing left between us that had been unsaid. Shannen fought that cancer for as long and as hard as she could and was able to maintain her career and her life; she was impressive in the way she fought.'
