Luke Perry, the actor best known for roles in Beverly Hills, 90210 and Riverdale, has passed away at the age of 52.

Last week, Perry was hospitalized after suffering a massive stroke. According to TMZ, the actor died this morning at St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank, CA.

According to Perry's reps, doctors had sedated the actor in hopes that they'd give his brain a chance to recover from the stroke. Unfortunately, the damage was too extensive.

In addition to roles in Riverdale and the original 90210, Perry appeared in OzJohn from CincinattiBody of ProofJeremiah and others. Most recently, he filmed a spot in Quentin Tarantino's Charles Manson movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Perry is survived by his children Jack and Sophie.
