Luke Perry, the actor who starred in the TV show "Beverly Hills 90210," has died at the age of 52.
In a statement confirming his death, his publicist said: "Luke passed away today after suffering a massive stroke."
He was surrounded by his family, including his children Jack and Sophie, in Los Angeles.
Born and raised in rural Fredericktown, Ohio, Mr Perry became a heartthrob on "Beverly Hills 90210," which ran from 1990 to 2000. He played Dylan McKay.
Mr Perry also had roles in a handful of films, including "The Fifth Element," "8 Seconds" and "American Strays."
He appeared in HBO’s prison drama "Oz" and voiced cartoons like "The Incredible Hulk" and "Mortal Kombat."

Shannen Doherty, who played his love interest Brenda in "Beverly Hills 90210," sent a message of support to Perry following his stroke, sharing a picture of the two together on the show.
According to TMZ, paramedics responded to a call to his home in Sherman Oaks, California on Wednesday morning from where Mr Perry was transported to a nearby hospital.
