Luke Perry's daughter Sophie Perry has shared an image of her late father with his Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty.

Doherty died on Saturday, July 13, after battling breast cancer.

The 24-year-old posted a poignant black and white image of her father Luke posing with Shannen to her Instagram stories.

Luke was seen playfully grabbing Shannen's pearl necklace around her neck. 

Perry died in 2019 at age 52 due to a stroke.

Both Luke and Shannen smiled ear to ear in the striking image.

Sophie added a white heart to the story she posted.

Luke and Shannen starred on Beverly Hills, 90210 together, playing love interests Dylan and Brenda. 

Her post comes just one day after Shannen's death at age 53 following a nine-year battle with breast cancer.

Shannen's publicist Leslie Sloane announced her death on Sunday via a statement: 'On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.

'The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.'

Gabrielle Carteris, who played Andrea in the iconic series, also remarked about Luke in her Shannen tribute.

'I know Luke is there with open arms to love you,' in her tribute, as reported by People.

Just this past February, Doherty got emotional when she shared about the time she learned of Perry's death while attending a panel at MegaCon Orlando.

'It was shocking,' Doherty said of the loss of her former co-star and friend. 

'I have a very visceral reaction whenever someone brings up Luke because as someone with cancer— and a really horrible cancer at stage 4 — I thought I would be the first to go. So when it was Luke, it really just sent me for a tailspin.' 

Heartbroken over his loss, Doherty finally found the strength to share a tribute to Perry on social media the day after he died.

'Yesterday morning I got a phone call that devastated me,' she began in the caption with obvious emotion to her words.

'I'm struggling with this loss and am having a hard time with my thoughts. But, my heart goes out to his family and friends who were blessed by his light in their (and mine) lives. Processing this is impossible right now.'

It turns out she and Perry wanted to create some new onscreen magic together, and were trying to find the right production to work on together.

'There is a special kind of love one has for each other when you are experiencing the journey we did on 90210 and of course life in general,' Doherty said, before revealing,  'Luke and I were working on show ideas for us. We wanted to work with each other again and create something special and meaningful for our fans at this stage in our lives.'

She added, 'I will miss him everyday. Every minute. Every second.'

During that same interview with People in 2019, the Memphis, Tennessee native revealed that she last saw Luke Perry when 'they met up for lunch' only a few weeks before his death.

'I walked in and there he was, smiling, with his dog Penny and her bed under the booth, happy as can be,' she recalled. 'I will never forget — and will miss — Luke looking at me with that smile of his saying … "Shan."'

While attending a 90210 panel at RewindCon Chicago, weeks before his death in 2019, Perry heaped high praise on Doherty, telling the audience, 'None of us are up here today without Shannen.'

He proceeded to share, 'The reality is that she was a very big part of the success of the program. She taught me a lot and I'm just really glad she was there for me as a scene partner.' 

They also connected after her cancer diagnosis and they 'picked right back up, albeit older and wiser, but that connection remained in tact.'

She described him as a 'smart, quiet, humble and complex man with a heart of gold and never-ending well of integrity and love.'
