Brian Austin Green on Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry deaths
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hollywood actor Brian Austin Green has opened up about the deaths of 90210 co-stars Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry, saying the tragedies forced him 'not to take things for granted'. In 2019, Luke Perry, passed away from a catastrophic stroke at 52 years old. And in July last year Shannen Doherty, 53, died from breast cancer after a long battle with the illness. 'Luke's passing was so incredibly sudden. He was young. He was my age now,' Green told Stellar. 'And then Shannen passing, too, hit home the concept of: we're not those kids anymore. 'We're in a new period of life where we have to really value the relationships with people that we have, and not take things for granted, because it's unbelievable how fast you can lose something or someone that seemed so invaluable.' Hollywood couple Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green in their Stellar cover shoot, out today. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Green and Australian fiancee Sharna Burgess live most of the year in Los Angeles, California, with their three-year-old son Zane, but spend considerable time in Australia due to Burgess' role as a judge on Seven reality series Dancing With The Stars. After spending many months in the country, the couple are considering a more permanent move in the future. 'Australia is amazing. I love it,' Green told Stellar, in the couple's joint cover story.

Picture: Getty Images 'Believe me, we kick around the idea of having a second home there – possibly it even ending up being a first home at some point – you never know. When you have kids in school, it's a hard thing to do [to uproot them]. 'So we are looking at all options to see what makes sense. But having a blended family does not make things easy.' Aside from young Zane, the blended family includes Green and former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Vanessa Marcil's son Kassius, 23, as well as Green's other children Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11 and Journey, eight, with Megan Fox. Burgess, who is originally from Wagga Wagga in regional New South Wales, tells Stellar that their three-year-old son is the glue of the family. 'Having Zane has absolutely bonded everyone together,' Burgess said. 'I was always incredibly close with the kids as our relationship grew, but when Zane came along, it was like that piece locked in where they were, like, 'Oh, this is forever.'' Dancing With The Stars premieres at 7pm on June 15 on the Seven Network and 7Plus. Read the full cover shoot and interview with Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green inside Stellar, via The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), Sunday Herald Sun (VIC), The Sunday Mail (QLD) and Sunday Mail (SA).
