Luke Perry, 52, dies 5 days after suffering stroke

Luke Perry, the beloved '90s heartthrob who rose to fame on "Beverly Hills, 90210," died Monday, five days after suffering a stroke, multiple outlets confirmed. He was 52.

The actor was hospitalized Wednesday morning after paramedics responded to a call from his Sherman Oaks home.

In recent weeks, Perry was seemingly in normal health as he worked on the CW's "Riverdale," a role that re-introduced him to younger viewers.

"He was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends," Perry's rep, Arnold Robinson, said in a statement to THR Monday.

Perry's children, both of whom he shares with Sharp, are 21 and 18.

"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 actor's rep continued. "No further details will be released at this time."

Perry played Dylan McKay in the "90210" ensemble cast from 1990 to 1995. He took a break from the show during several of its later seasons but made frequent recurring appearances toward the end of the show's run in the late '90s.

Several of Perry's "90210" co-stars publicly shared their well-wishes after news of his hospitalization spread last week.

"No words can express what my heart feels hearing today's shocking news," actor Ian Ziering wrote alongside a decades-old photo of himself kissing Perry on the cheek.

Born in Mansfield, Ohio, Perry auditioned for hundreds of acting jobs before getting his big break on "90210." A reboot of the show is currently in the works with many original cast members, but Perry had not signed onto the project at the time of his death.

Although Perry had roles in dozens of other shows and films, he was comfortable being forever linked with the classic '90s program, once saying, "I'm going to be linked with him until I die, but that's actually just fine. I created Dylan McKay. He's mine."
