Luke Perry, '90210' and 'Riverdale' star, dead at 52 after massive stroke

Luke Perry, the '90s heartthrob on "90210" and "Riverdale" star, has died after suffering a massive stroke, his rep said Monday.

He was 52.

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.

"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," the rep said in a statement to the New York Daily News.

The news comes days after Perry was rushed to the hospital following a 911 call to his Sherman Oaks, Calif., home. Perry was responsive and talking when paramedics first arrived, but his condition quickly worsened and he was taken to the hospital and sedated, according to TMZ.
