US actor Luke Perry has died in California at the age of 52, less than a
week after suffering a massive stroke.

His publicist said Perry died surrounded by his family and friends.

Perry rose to fame on Beverly Hills, 90210 and had been starring as Fred
Andrews on the CW show Riverdale.

Last Wednesday, US media reported that paramedics had been called to the
actor’s home in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.

Perry had recently been shooting scenes for Riverdale at the Warner Bros
film lot.

Perry’s children, Jack and Sophie, fiancée Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife
Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, and his
siblings, Tom Perry and Amy Coder, were with him when he passed,
publicist Arnold Robinson said in a statement.

“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,” Mr Robinson said.

The family has not provided additional details at this time.
