Sophie took to social media on Sunday, July 14, to share a throwback photo of her father goofing around with his former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar and onscreen love interest.

Tori Spelling, who played Donna Martin on the TV series, shared via Instagram Stories on Sunday that she had not found “outward words yet,” while Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor, shared a heartfelt note via Instagram that same day.

“I am still processing my tremendous grief over the loss of my long time friend Shannen,” Garth, 52, wrote, sharing two throwback photos from the set of 90210. “The woman I have often described as one of the strongest people I have ever known.
