“I am still processing my tremendous grief over the loss of my long-time friend Shannen, the woman I have often described as one of the strongest people I have ever known. Our connection was real and honest,” Garth wrote.

“We were so often pitted against each other but none of that reflected the truth of our real relationship which was built on mutual respect and admiration. She was courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous,” she continued.

“I will miss her and will always honor her deeply in my heart and in my memories. My heart breaks for her family and Bowie and all the people who loved her,” she said.

Spelling, 51, also took to Instagram to commemorate Doherty.

“F*ck them… is what Shan would say if I told her I felt pressure to summarize via social media a 36-year relationship and the grief I feel for a fire who’s flame went out too soon,” Spelling wrote.

“I was 15 when Shan and I met. I was the boss’s daughter with no voice and she was the star with a big voice. She took me under her wing. She gave me the belief I had a voice and was worthy. We became fast best friends,” she continued.

“She was a rebel in an era when most women didn’t feel comfortable being strong. She never tried she just was. She empowered sexiness, strength, 2 fucks given, empathy, and all topped off with wicked humor! Her sardonic humor was one of my faves. And, no one made a frito pie like Shan! Shan… I’ll carry the torch on. Take on my power! And, I’ll stay rebellious for you. Love you with all my heart. Always,” Spelling said.
