By: Hibah


			Luke Perry-
In the 1990s, Luke Perry played brooding heartthrob Dylan McKay in TV series Beverley Hills, 90210.

It has shocked many fans globally, old and young. Luke Perry’s death happened at Saint Joseph medical centre in Burbank, California on Monday 4th March. He had suffered a stroke which unfortunately killed him.

He was known by older fans for being the “teen idol” in the role of Dylan McKay in the TV series Beverly Hills 90210 – 1990 – 1995 and again in 1998 – 2000. He was known by younger fans for being Fred Andrews in the teen drama Riverdale since 2017.

“To all of my Riverdale family, we’ll get through this all together. Stay strong & May we always remember just how amazing Luke Perry was at portraying our favourite on screen dad, Fred Andrews. May he Rest in Peace”

“Luke Perry was one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, and thoughtful actors I've ever had the chance to meet. When I last saw him at NYCC, he made sure to thank each reporter at my press table, saying how much he appreciated us being there. Just the nicest guy. I'll miss him. RIP."
