Fans, co-stars and friends of actor Luke Perry sent thoughts and prayers to his family after he passed away at the age 52. The star of beloved TV shows Riverdale and Beverly Hills, 90210 died after suffering a stroke at his home.

Perry started acting in the early ‘80s, but got his big break almost a decade later when he was cast as brooding loner Dylan McKay in popular teen series Beverly Hills, 90210. Younger audience knows him as Archie’s dad, Fred Andrews, on CW’s hit show Riverdale.

This show shut down production after the news of Perry’s sudden passing broke everyone’s heart. Executives producers of Riverdale announced they would temporarily stop working on the upcoming season in tribute to Perry.

“Luke was everything you would hope he would be: an incredibly caring, consummate professional with a giant heart, and a true friend to all. A father figure and mentor to the show’s young cast, Luke was incredibly generous, and he infused the set with love and kindness,” read their joint statement.

Many of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Molly Ringwald and Joss Whedon, tweeted their condolences to actor’s family. Perry’s rep said they appreciate the outpouring of support and prayers they received from every corner of the world, but respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning.

I’m finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us.

I’m thinking of his family. His children.

I pray for them to heal and find peace in this devastating loss.

My entire high school experience was shaped by Brenda and Dylan. Now I have to hold my dear friend @theshando hand, while she mourns the loss of #lukeperry This is not how it’s supposed to happen. I hope his family knows many lives he touched. “I chose. I chose you. I want you. I’ve always wanted you” – my favorite quote

Crushed. Luke Perry was truly a great guy. Warm, kind, generous and hard working. We met very young, I witnessed the grace with which he became a pop icon & parent. He’s been an awesome example of how to stay decent in a swirl of crazy. Love to his family https://t.co/bGlTX8mNbB

The first time I met Luke Perry we talked about what kind of movie we wanted “Buffy” to be. I asked if he’d ever seen “Near Dark” and he gave me a look of HOW DARE YOU SIR and I knew we’d get along. Funny, committed, and always gracious. He shouldn’t be gone.
