Luke Perry attending the 2017 CW Upfront in New York City, NY, USA, on May 18, 2017. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star was hospitalized after reports of massive stroke.
Luke Perry, the actor best known as bad-boy heartthrob Dylan McKay from the 1990s TV drama "Beverly Hills, 90210," has died. He was 52.
Publicist Arnold Robinson confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Perry died Monday after suffering a massive stroke.
"(Perry) was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancee Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, stepfather Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder and other close family and friends," Robinson said.
"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," he added. "No further details will be released at this time."
The actor was hospitalized last week after Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to an "unspecified medical aid request" at his Sherman Oaks home. He was put under observation after that, Robinson said at the time.
Perry was most recently seen on the CW's "Riverdale," on which he played Fred Andrews, the father of the show's protagonist, Archie Andrews.
His death comes nearly a week after Fox announced a six-episode revival of "Beverly Hills, 90210," the hit teen prime-time soap that starred Perry, Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty. However, Perry had not yet been attached to the project.
The Ohio-born actor was next expected to appear in Quentin Tarantino's Charles Manson murder tale "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," which is due this summer.

Spanish priests built it from sun-dried bricks, called adobe, in the early 1700s. High walls defended the mission. It later became a fortress. In 1836, a bloody battle was fought at the Alamo. Texan forces fought bravely against the Mexican army, but many Texans died. At that time, Texas was part of Mexico. Many Texans wanted to make Texas an independent country. “Remember the Alamo!” became a battle cry for Texas in its war of independence from Mexico. TEXAS REVOLTS! In the fall of 1835, the people of Texas decided they no longer wanted to be a part of Mexico. Texans were unhappy with the Mexican government. The Texans rebelled and gathered an army. Mexican president and general Antonio López de Santa Anna wanted to stop the revolt. In February 1836, he took more than 2,000 of his soldiers to San Antonio. A...
